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 yesterday that the price here continues to go sideways, and that this pair was probably best avoided for the day. The action turned out to be a little bearish, and the price chart below shows that we can draw a slight, short-term bearish price channel which may have some technical effect, although I would not want to rely upon it. There could now be opportunities to trade reversals at either of the key levels or channel trend lines in either direction – I have no bias towards either long or short trades.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
