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/CHF Analysis
Interestingly, this pair stabilised even as the highly positively correlated EUR/USD currency pair continued to rise strongly. This suggests that the supportive area which the price has been encountering is having an effect and producing some buying, which makes me more confident that a move down to 0.9540 followed by an immediate bullish reaction would be a good opportunity to enter a long trade.
There is nothing due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Final GDP and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
