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.
NZD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that as long as the area around 0.6837 held, it would make sense not to have a bearish bias on this pair, as there were signs of the bullish USD trend ending and the NZD and AUD remaining well-positioned to rise against the USD. This area did not hold, and although the price has risen again after falling, it was a good call that kept us out of a situation that was less bullish than it needed to be. The situation now suggests consolidation and unpredictability as the price is far from any key levels, and the action suggests a double top may be forming close to 0.6888. I have no directional bias today.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
