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 I was ready to be bearish once the short-term bullish retracement ended. This happened, and gave about 35 pips on the short side, before the price bounced up strongly from the zone of two support levels at around 1.1300. The price has since recovered strongly to trade not far below the next round number at 1.1400. So, we have a strong bullish retracement within a long-term bearish move. The next resistance level at 1.1433 is likely to be very key. If that is broken, then this bullish movement becomes more than a small retracement.
The short-term price action looks bullish, but it is a move that cannot be traded without great care.
I take no directional bias today unless the price gets back below the new support at 1.1365 soon, which would be a bearish sign.
There is nothing important due today concerning the EUR or the USD.
