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
The price has broken below the lower trend line of the formerly dominant bearish price channel and seems to have flipped support at 0.7214 to become new resistance. These are bearish signs, and the price has clearly shown some bearish momentum over recent hours. This paints a considerably more bearish picture, so I now take a bearish bias. Even better for bears, there are no obvious key support levels before 0.7110 which is more than a typical daily range away, so the line of least resistance looks to be downwards. If the resistance at 0.7214 can survive until the New York open, another failed test there (or even higher, at a confluence of the psychologically key 0.7250 and the broken trend line) could provide a good short trade entry later.
There is nothing due today concerning either the NZD or the USD
