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 wrote that a long trade looks unlikely to work well unless the conditions change, though I thought 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. This was a good reflection of what happened, with the price breaking a little lower before finding new support to rise from at 0.7326. However, the picture has not truly changed, the price is still moving within a formation which is almost a bearish price channel, so it seems impossible to make a confident forecast on this pair today.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm London time.
