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.
USD/CAD Analysis
There is still no clear trend in this pair, not on any time frame. The best that can be said is that the price is close to support, and is in a possible consolidating triangle formation from which it will shortly be forced to break out. I see a bullish move over the short term as slightly more likely than a bearish one.
There are probably going to be better opportunities in other Forex currency pairs today.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
