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
I was strongly bullish last Thursday, and the price continued to rise over the next 24 hours, so I was correct over the short-term. However, the price has pulled back now, and looks as if it is going to fall further over the short-term, breaching the nearest support at 0.7343. If this level holds, the picture will become more bullish, especially above 0.7363. I see the best potential set-up as a fall to 0.7304 followed by a bullish reversal there. The long-term trend is bullish.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time.
