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
Yesterday’s FOMC release made a substantial impact upon this pair, driving it up strongly through resistance levels and a key bearish trend line, and flipping 0.7275 from likely resistance to probable support. This is in line with the long-term bullish trend, so there is a good chance now the price may eventually continue to move higher. At the time of writing, the support level of 0.7919 looks doubtful. As 0.7275 is now confluent with the broken bearish trend lines, it is likely to act as strong support if it is reached soon.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
