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/CHF Analysis
I wrote last Thursday that it may be best to trade other currency pairs at present where there looks like being more movement and opportunity. This was a good call as the price here continues to go sideways. The action is elsewhere, and the Swiss Franc is not even acting as much of a safe-haven now, even when stocks fall. This pair is probably best avoided today.
There is nothing important due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time.
