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 picture looked bearish, and this has worked out well as the price has continued to fall. The price chart shows the short to medium term action as dominate by a bearish trend line. However, recent hours are seeing a very bullish “U” formation which is pushing the price up. I do not have a lot of confidence in the resistance level at 0.7830, and I think any short-term opportunity here is likely to be on the long side.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 4pm London time. There is nothing due concerning the AUD.
