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.
AUD/USD Analysis
I was correct in seeing a probability of little movement in this pair, at least until the RBA release. That release did not provide much movement, and the action is still consolidative. With no real trend on any time frame, and with the price in between key levels, it is probably worth standing aside from this pair today.
There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time.
