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/CAD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that going into the week, it does look as if the price is poised to move further down, so I will be looking to take a slightly bearish bias. Although I was avoiding this pair yesterday, it has been an accurate view, as we see the price having continued to move down with surprising strength in line with the bearish price channel shown in the price chart below. I now have a bearish bias below 1.3000, with new resistance just under that price looking very attractive for a potential short trade entry today.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
