Yesterday’s signals produced a short trade entry following the bearish rejection of the resistance level at 0.7344. This trade would still be open, at about break even, and is not looking as if it is going especially well as the price action is now looking bullish so it could be wise to exit.

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.
NZD/USD Analysis
Most currencies are starting to look less bullish against the USD, but despite the rejection of the resistance level at 0.7344, the action here still looks bullish. The price has been rising over the last few hours, producing a pin candlestick and a “V” LOP, so I maintain a bullish bias. Additionally, there are still supportive trend lines holding the price up, which can be seen in the price chart below. It looks as if the momentum is strong enough to require a double top at 0.7344 before the price could be ready to turn around and start falling properly.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
