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.
NZD/USD Analysis
Yesterday I took no strong directional bias over the short term, but I was interested in a possible long trade at the support below. Little has happened, and the support is still there. This pair looks more bullish than the AUD/USD, which is a bullish sign. However, we do have a new lower resistance level at 0.7374, and the price action over recent hours is looking bearish. The U.S. Dollar is also generally strong. For these reasons, a long trade looks unlikely to work well unless the conditions change. I think this pair is likely to give more profit from a good long trade than a good short trade, as the long-term condition is relatively bullish. There will probably be better opportunities in other currency pairs today.
There is nothing due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
