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 as the Euro remained relatively weak, it was unlikely to penetrate above the nearby resistance level. If this rally against the Dollar turned around, we could see a good short trade opportunity here. This call was OK, the price did remain below the resistance level above 1.1400. A rally in favour of the U.S. Dollar has not happened yet, so although the price remains close to the middle of its current zone between support and resistance, it still looks more likely to rise than fall. However, the rise does not look very strong, so a short trade following a clear rejection of the next resistance level still looks as if it could be a good trade which may set up later. I have no directional bias apart from that.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
