Last Thursday’s signals produced an excellent and very profitable long trade from the bullish pin candlestick which rejected the support level identified at 0.6532.

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.
NZD/USD Analysis
I was quite bullish last Thursday, but I thought that the key support level would be at 0.6557 and I was wrong, it was the level below it at 0.6532 which really made the difference and produced an excellent long trade. The NZD has been more bullish than the AUD and has been rising nicely for some time and is also getting a boost from recently released higher than expected New Zealand inflation data.
The medium-term picture is bullish, but the price is having difficulty advancing beyond the round number at 0.6600. If the nearby support levels at 0.6579 or 0.6557 hold then that will be a bullish sign suggesting that we can expect a further rise to come.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
