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
Yesterday I foresaw a continuing but weak upwards movement, which is what happened until New York opened and the Dollar sold off quite heavily. There is no real change to the big picture: a gentle range between 0.9600 and 0.9700. That could change later, if Janet Yellen’s testimony tonight contains any surprises.
There is nothing due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be testifying before the House Financial Services Committee on monetary policy at 3pm London time, followed half an hour later by Crude Oil Inventories.
