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
Yesterday I saw the short-term outlook as unclear, and I had no directional bias. I feel the same way today, although the picture is looking more bearish with three resistant trend lines and new lower resistance at 0.7869 suppressing the price. Nevertheless, there is reasonably strong support below and no long-term trend, so this pair looks intimidating to trade today.
There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Core Durable Goods Orders and testimony before Congress by the Chair of the Federal Reserve at 1:30pm London time, followed by CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm.
