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 there was still some bullish momentum as the U.S. Dollar remained strong, but the closer the price approached to the parity level at 1.000 the harder it would be for it to rise further, probably. This was a good call as the price has risen a little since then but is broadly remaining flat. It is always difficult to forecast movements in this currency pair, and right now it looks particularly difficult, so I still have no directional bias here today, beyond saying that the short-term price action looks slightly bearish.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD. It is a public holiday today in the USA.
