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.
NZD/USD Analysis
The long-term bullish trend in this pair is now in serious doubt as the price continues to fall. I would say that once the price gets below 0.7200 it has little prospect of reviving. Over the medium term, this pair is in a strongly bearish trend, with the price suppressed by a clear and dominant major bearish trend line shown in the chart below. There is some chance of a bullish turn at 0.7275 where a double bottom could be printed on a supportive bounce, but the outlook for the near term continues to look bearish.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time.
