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 Monday that the price looked very flat and as Australia was already on holiday, we were likely to see very little movement. This is exactly what happened, and the price is still extremely flat which is not surprising as Australia has not returned from holiday yet but will in a few hours. This means we are likely to see more movement here later. The longer-term momentum is definitely with the bears, however the price has approached to reach this area quite near the psychological round number of 0.7000 but it keeps acting as support, so the bulls may win out here in the end. There could be a long-term buying opportunity at or close to 0.7000. If the price could get established below 0.6992, which is a very key support level that would be a very bearish sign. This could be an interesting pair to trade later, especially during the Asian session.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
