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 short-term picture looked a little more bullish than bearish but took no bias. I was right as the price did move up a little, printing new support at 1.1645 which has held, and the action still looks bullish. Due to the American holiday and absence of news, trading is likely to be very light today, so there probably will not be much movement. I think it is very likely the price will remain above the 1.1645 area today. I’m short-term bullish within a long-term bearish trend.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the EUR or the USD. It is a public holiday in the United States.
