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
The Euro rose sharply last Thursday following the ECB input, in line with its bullish long-term trend, but it then sold off strongly above 1.2500, which is an important psychological round number. The price rose again and again failed just below 1.2500, which started a retracement process. The price is now close to the nearest key support level, where a bullish bounce is reasonably likely and would be in line with the long-term trend.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
