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 the rise did not look very strong, so a short trade following a clear rejection of the next resistance level still looked as if it could be a good trade which may set up later. I had no directional bias apart from that. This was a good call as the price turned nicely at 1.1417.
The Euro is weakened to some extent by the very weak British Pound, but it still looks as if the price will struggle to break below this supportive area stretching between about 1.1306 to 1.1250. The most likely scenario is that the price will continue to trade between 1.1306 and 1.1417 so we may see a gently bullish swing next. Beyond that observation, I have no directional bias today on this pair.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the EUR or the USD. The President of the ECB will be giving a minor speech at 8:30am London time.
