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
I wrote yesterday that the price was continuing to hold up and broadly respect support levels, so it did not seem ready to move down yet, even though the USD was strengthening. This is what happened, with the price consolidating and going nowhere, and now the situation looks slightly more bearish than bullish. This pair looks like being a sideshow in today’s market. I have no directional bias but still think a long-term short trade from either of the nearest resistance level could be an excellent trade if it sets up.
There is nothing important due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Final GDP data at 1:30pm London time.
