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 didn’t really make any judgment on this pair yesterday. The action has been quite flat, but it is becoming notable how the medium-term bullish movement is holding and not making any significant retracement. The Swiss Franc tends to be manipulated heavily by the Swiss National Bank, which is a reason why I usually dislike trading this pair, but the outlook does look firmer here than it usually does, with quite a bullish picture showing in the price chart below, which matches the short-term price action, so I think we are more likely than not to see higher prices today. However, as we get closer to the parity level at 1.000, the more likely a meaningful bearish reversal will become.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
