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 the bulls managed to hold the price up, in line with my bullish directional bias and the medium-term bullish picture on this pair. There is no change at all to the technical situation. I still expect the resistance level at 1.2586 to be strong if it is reached, and recent price action over the past hours is suggestive of selling as the price gets close to it.
There is nothing due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
