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 wrote last Thursday that I had no directional bias and that I expected that the price action would be uncertain and congested. This was a fairly accurate reflection of what happened, but the levels actually held well when they were subsequently reached, although they were not reached soon enough. There is no change to the technical picture, which is flat, ranging, and uncertain, so I continue to take no directional bias. There may be good chances to fade the levels in this environment, but the price movement is relatively slow and choppy which could make trading this pair frustrating.
There is nothing due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
