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
Surprisingly, the US dollar did not move strongly after Trump recently approved 200 billion US dollars of tariffs on China, which is an extension of the scope of their trade war. Crude oil prices rebounded strongly, also contributing to the decline of this pair below the psychological resistance level at 1.3000 until the pair touched the support level at 1.2957. Breaking below the 1.30 will increase the pair's selling and it will test lower levels.
There is nothing important due today concerning the CAD. Regarding the USD, here will be the release of the Building Permits data.
