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.
EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that the flow was certainly bullish, and that the Euro was likely to remain relatively strong today despite the long-term bearish trend. This was true until later in the New York session when the price began to fall relatively sharply. During the Asian session, the price fell further and printed a new likely resistance level at 1.1937, which was the weekly opening price. The action now looks bearish, in line with the long-term trend, so I take a bearish bias today. The Dollar is advancing most strongly against the Euro and the Japanese Yen. The Euro weakness has been slightly reinforced by some poor German Preliminary GDP data.
There is nothing due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time.
