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 wrote last Thursday that the price looks likely to consolidate today, between the key levels. I had no directional bias. This approach turned out well, as the price is still ranging and contained within this area. This pair looks very dead right now and not interesting to trade. The action may pick up later after New York opens, meanwhile it looks as if the action will be elsewhere. I again take no bias, and see this pair as best avoided.
Concerning the CAD, there will be a release of the Bank of Canada’s Business Outlook Survey at 3:30pm London time. There is nothing due regarding the USD.
