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 it seemed as if the directional movement may take a rest and I thought we were likely to see the price consolidate between 0.7165 and 0.7250. I had no directional bias but was prepared to take a short-term short bias if the price failed strongly at 0.7250.
This was a good and accurate call as the price has continued to consolidate within this zone. I expect that it will continue, so trades off reversals at either nearby support or resistance levels could work with conservative profit targets.
There is nothing important due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of PPI data at 1:30pm London time.
