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 technical picture has changed significantly and has now become considerably more bullish. The
Price rose strongly yesterday and broke all three resistance levels, which is a very bullish sign coming soon after a medium-term bearish trend line was finally broken to the upside. It is obvious that the two former resistance levels below the current price have flipped to become support, with 0.7275 having already been tested and holding. The only exception is the resistance above which only needed to be adjusted upwards slightly, which is now holding at 0.7307. I now take a bullish bias and see that if the price consolidates above the nearby support at 0.7275, it could provide a good long trade entry opportunity at around the time New York opens.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 1:15pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm.
