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 Australian GBP data showed weaker than expected growth, so the pair fell with some strength, although it now looks like the price has bottomed out and is starting to rise again. The technical picture is quite confused, and the pair looks intimidating to trade. The supportive area above 0.7550 looks more solid and reliable than the resistance area at the top of the chart shown below. I have no directional bias on this pair.
Concerning the USD, there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 1:15pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 3pm. Regarding the AUD, there will be a release of Trade Balance data at 12:30am.
