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
I wrote yesterday that this the pair is now in a medium-term bearish trend, with no long-term trend in the price at all. This situation has continued and even accelerated, with the price being held down over the short-term by a steeper bearish trend line shown in the chart below. It looks increasingly likely that the nearest support level at 1.1774 is going to be tested. This will probably give some amount of bullish bounce as it is confluent with the key lower channel trend line.
There is nothing important due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
