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
This pair is becoming very difficult to predict, as there are no obvious key support or resistance levels anywhere near to the current price. The structure of highs and lows is also ambiguous. There are two obvious technical features which stand out: the long-term bullish trend, and the fact that the price continues to struggle whenever it gets close to 1.2300. Taken together, this suggests we are more likely to see a deeper bearish retracement than a significant new high over the short term.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
