Last Thursday’s signals produced a profitable long trade from the bullish inside candlestick which rejected the support level identified at 1.2750, but it only gave the minimum 20 pips of profit before being stopped out at break even.

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 had a bearish bias last Thursday, saying there seemed to be some strong short-term momentum. The price did continue downwards although there was some support as expected at 1.2750. Although that bullish bounce is providing some support in a sense, it is the resistance at 1.2814 which looks more interesting, and as most likely to provide a good set up today if it is rejected with a bearish reversal. However, I see it as quite likely that any good opportunities which might set up are likely to be in other currency pairs. I have no directional bias here.
There is nothing due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
