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
This pair is looking more bullish now, as the USD begins to recover a little, and it is making gains here more than it is against most other currencies. There is still a long-term bearish trend, but the price looks likely to reach 1.2400 over the next couple of days, where it will test the nearest key resistance level which is also confluent with a round number. It is likely the best opportunities today will be in other currency pairs, and not here.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
