Long Trade

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.

NZD/USD Analysis

I wrote last Thursday that we had a slightly more bullish picture, and I was right, as the price has continued to rise despite the long-term bearish trend. I remain cautiously bullish above 0.6612 and would be even more bullish above 0.6640. Note that the NZD is likely to be affected by the key Australian data release due later in the Asian session.

NZDUSD

There is nothing important due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
