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
I wrote yesterday that 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. This has been a correct approach, as the price has continued to rise, although not by much. This pair is simply not attractive to trade now, because there are no obviously and clear levels now for a long way in either direction. We only have a weak, short-term bullish channel holding up the price. Therefore I have no directional bias and expect any good opportunities today will come in other currency pairs.
There is nothing due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
