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 technical picture remained messy and range-bound so I took no directional bias. I did note that we may have the start of a medium-term bearish formation with an “over and under” bearish pattern forming its final leg at a new resistance level of 1.1439, and the major move of the day was downwards, making a low just a few pips above the nearest support level. However, the Euro has subsequently recovered, leaving the price ranging within a consolidation area and still impossible to predict except where there is short-term momentum. This pair is probably best avoided today.
There is nothing important due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
