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.
USD/CAD Analysis
Yesterday I noted that there was some convincing buying at 1.2450 and again at a step up around 1.2530. The price did follow this bullishness and held up, although trading was obviously relatively light due to yesterday’s public holiday in the U.S.A. The U.S. Dollar remains strong today, so the signs are pointing at further short-term upwards movement, with additional potential minor support at about 1.2550. There is no long-term trend to give better signs of probable directional movement.
There is nothing due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
