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
Although we have seen a breach of the bearish trend line, and the support level at 0.7835 holding so far with a double bottom compound candlestick formation, the Australian Dollar remains weak and the U.S. Dollar remains strong. The picture remains bearish, unless the 0.7835 level survives another test and gives a stronger bullish bounce.
There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time.
