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/CHF Analysis
I wrote yesterday that I thought a period of consolidation here was now likely, but any movement was more likely to be bullish than bearish, so a long trade at the support level of 0.9988 could be an interesting opportunity. I was partially right and partially wrong, with the level at 0.9988 holding for a while but eventually breaking down. However, the price does seem to be ranging, and we now have the problem that there are no clear support or resistance levels anywhere nearby. The inflections at 1.0035 and 0.9920 could act as support and resistance, but I don’t have much confidence in them. This currency pair therefore looks best avoided today.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
