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.
EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that I did not see any reason not to remain bearish today, with the U.S. Dollar rising almost everywhere. This was a good call as the price of this pair has continued to fall, and we see new lower resistance now at 1.1309 which is another bearish sign. The price remains within its medium-term bearish channel and there is a long-term bearish trend. These are all good reasons to remain bearish. The only issues are the major U.S. data release due later and the supportive area around 1.1250. I would take a bearish bias today if we get a bearish rejection of the new resistance level at 1.1309 later.
There is nothing important due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Preliminary GDP data at 1:30pm London time.
