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
The price has now broken below the key support level at 0.9694 which had held for many days. The action since the break has seen a pull-back to the level, which now appears to have flipped to become resistance. The action over the past few hours still looks bullish but this is a pivotal time: if the price can get established above 0.9694 it will be a bullish sign, but the price may well finally reject this level and provide a good short trade entry. The best trade will probably come from careful monitoring of the action now at 0.9694, if the action starts to look bearish.
There is a long-term bearish trend in this pair.
There is nothing due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change forecast at 1:15pm London time, followed by Unemployment Claims at 1:30pm, ISM Manufacturing PMI at 3pm, and Crude Oil Inventories at 4pm.
