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.
USD/CAD Analysis
The picture is just a little more bearish than it was this time yesterday, with the price continuing to move down gently and forming a new lower resistance level at 1.2440, which is shown in the chart below There is no long-term trend, and the Canadian Dollar is not prominent in the market right now, but there may still be a good short trade opportunity at a retracement to at least 1.2475 as this area is also confluent with a major round number at 1.2500. Using the level at 1.2440 is also possible, but at present that looks a little too risky. If the level holds for several hours, it should get stronger.
I have no directional bias. It also has to be noted there is clear buying whenever the price gets to or below 1.2400, which could easily produce medium-term double bottom formations that drive the price up.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
