Last Wednesday’s signals produced a profitable short trade following the hourly pin candle rejecting the resistance level at 1.1838, but the trade gave only a little more than the minimum 20 pips of profit.

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
The price rose steadily for the first half of last week, in line with the long-term bullish trend in this pair, but it was unable to crack the medium-term bearish trend line at about 1.1875. After rejecting this line, the price has fallen continually, and is now sitting right on an area of key support that stretches from about 1.1802 to 1.1780. As the area at 1.1800 has already been touched with little reaction, I look to the lower boundary at 1.1780 for a potential long trade entry. There is little news today so I think it will probably hold if reached, as it should be a relatively quiet trading day.
There is nothing significant due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
