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 this bullish move looked impulsive, so I would not want to be trading against it yet without giving it some time to cool off. This was a good call, as the price has continued to rise and break former support. The price looks quite bullish now above 0.7300 and seems to be holding up. This major bullish movement is counter-trend, so needs to be approached with some caution, but I have a bullish bias above 0.7300, and would be even more bullish above 0.7322.
