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.
EUR/USD Analysis
Yesterday’s bullish bias did not work out. It was a good day for the U.S. Dollar everywhere, which is benefiting from strong selling in the U.S. stock market. However, the Euro held up a little better than other major currencies. Despite that, the price still fell clearly, breaking firmly below two support levels which now look to have been flipped to become new resistance. The long-term bullish trend is still in force, but the price really needs to get above 1.2429 before bulls can be confident again. It is difficult to make a forecast for today due to the very high volatility we are seeing in stock markets. The best that can be said is that if the U.S Dollar is sold strongly today, the Euro should be one of the stronger currencies to benefit from that.
There is nothing due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
