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
I noted yesterday that there was no resistance until 1.3200 so a continued advance was very possible, in fact it looks like the most likely outcome. My bullish bias did not do very well as after initially looking like bouncing at the new, highest support at 1.3072 the price broke down. This is a bearish sign suggesting that the recent price rise may be exhausted, as least for a while. There is still a long-term bullish trend and no clear reason to turn bearish yet, so it may be wisest to stand aside and wait for a deeper pull back to cause the beginning of a stronger rise in the price. It is again likely to be a quiet trading day as there are no important news items scheduled for either currency within this pair.
There is nothing due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
