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
There is a generally medium-term bullish picture, with no real change from yesterday’s technical situation Although the price broke up past the psychological level at 0.8000, it was unable to remain above it. There is an obvious support level at 0.7983 which is still holding the price up. There is no long-term trend and I remain bullish. If the price gets above 0.8000 and stays there, that will be a very bullish sign.
There is nothing important due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 4pm.
