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
The pair’s losses halted at the 1.2885 support level last week and the price settled around 1.2935. The strong losses were due to strong gains for the crude oil and a strong decline in the US dollar and the finalization of the NAFTA agreement, which is very important for the Canadian economy. In our previous analysis, we noted that stability below 1.30 will support the bearish momentum and I still prefer to buy the pair on low levels.
There is nothing important due today concerning the USD or the CAD.
