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
The support level I forecasted yesterday was broadly right, providing the base for a very fast move up above the nearest resistance level and major psychological level at 1.3500, which may now flip to become support. Unfortunately, this pair is trendless and highly unpredictable, so trading it profitably is likely to be extremely difficult. There should be better opportunities elsewhere in other Forex currency pairs.
