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 yesterday that due to the notable recent weakness of the Australian Dollar, trading with a bearish bias is useful, but there was short-term bullish momentum. I was looking ideally for a bearish reversal later after the RBA’s release at either 0.7181 or 0.7231. However, neither scenario has played out, and the picture is now looking more bullish as a new key higher double bottom is printed at 0.7145. The bullish movement of recent hours may be running out of momentum now, so I do not have any directional bias and it looks impossible to forecast with any confidence.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
