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.
AUD/USD Analysis
The Australian Dollar was very weak last week, and the U.S. Dollar was strong. However, we are now getting signs that this pair is bottoming out, with the price finding support when it gets close to the major psychological number at 0.7750. Nevertheless, the resistance level at 0.7838 is clear and held firmly when it was tested. Overall, it is a challenge to make a directional call here. The best approach may be to be bullish above 0.7838 and bearish below 0.7750. Neither outcome would be surprising, although 0.7750 stands out as a bigger level than 0.7838, so any rise from here may have further to run than any fall below 0.7750.
There is nothing due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
