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.
USD/CAD Analysis
There is no long-term trend in this pair. We have a break below the last channel, which was a bearish break from a bullish channel. This is the most unpredictable and hard to trade of all the USD currency pairs right now. There are likely to be better opportunities elsewhere, in other Forex currency pairs.
There is nothing due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
