The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
EUR/USD Analysis
The higher time frames still suggest more of a move down from the recent high at the key resistant level at 1.1295, but there have now been two bullish developments: the break up above a resistant trend line, and the flipping of the area at 1.1160 from acting as resistance to support. These suggest that the price may now be due a bullish pull back to 1.1200 at least. On the other hand, if the price breaks yesterday’s lows, it could fall quite quickly to 1.1082. There is very little news on the agenda, so it is likely to be another quiet day, yet unusually low volatility such as we have seen over the past few days tend to cause relatively strong movements in this pair after a day or two.
There is nothing due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
