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 yesterday that the picture now was more bullish as the bearish price channel could be seen to have broken to the upside. I also thought that there may be minor resistance at 0.7280. I was right about 0.7280 but the bullishness faded quickly, and the price fell.
This pair looks terrible to trade right now, action is a little choppy, very uncertain, and equally far from any key support or resistance levels, of which there are very few. I’d avoid trading this pair today and I have no directional bias at all.
There is nothing important due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
