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
The long-term bullish trend is looking very strong now with the bullish advance we have seen here over the past several days. The sustained break above the psychologically important 1.3000 level is an important milestone and we have higher, new support established at 1.3071. There is no resistance until 1.3200 so a continued advance is very possible, in fact it looks like the most likely outcome. I have a bullish bias here although trading may be relatively quiet today, so it might be preferable to wait for tomorrow’s London open to see how the technical picture looks then.
There is nothing due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
