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.
EUR/USD Analysis
Friday’s stronger than expected NFP data pushed the price down, but the pair held up relatively well, and has not broken below the lower end of its bullish channel or key low prices. This suggests that the upwards trend remains intact as the outlook on the USD has not changed deeply. What happens at the next test of 1.1818 will be very key, and this level is currently confluent with a formerly supportive channel trend line, so it could provide strong resistance. If it holds, that would be a bearish sign that a deeper pull back within the bullish trend might be taking place.
There is nothing due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
