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 the technical picture was unchanged: weakly bullish over the medium-term, and likely to rise higher if the price could get established above 0.7150 or so. I would take a bullish bias between 0.7150 and 0.7200. This was a pretty good call as although the action continues to be bullish, the price is not able to get established above 0.7150. Nevertheless, it is looking increasingly likely that this will happen as the medium-term bullish pattern of higher highs and higher lows remains intact.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm London time. Concerning the AUD, there will be releases of Employment Change and Unemployment Rate data at 1:30am.
