Last Thursday’s signals were not triggered, as neither of the key levels were reached that day.

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.
AUD/USD Analysis
I wrote last Thursday that we were likely to see lower prices today. I had a weak bearish bias below 0.7250 if the price was trading below there and the action was bearish shortly after Australia opened for business. That level held, more or less.
The picture now is more bullish as the bearish price channel can be seen in the below chart to have broken to the upside. However, there may be minor resistance at 0.7280.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
