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.
AUD/USD Analysis
The price failed to make another new high over the past few days and has started to sell off, with increasing intensity following regular pull-backs to former support levels which become resistance. For this reason, I currently have a bearish bias, but for this to be maintained I would want to see the strong support confluent with the round number at 0.7800 break down. If it does break, the price would be quite likely to fall quickly to the next support level at 0.7771. If the price reaches 0.7829 first, it would be likely to form a double top and fall again.
There is nothing significant due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
