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.
NZD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that I would look to trade reversals in either direction: long off 0.6888 or short off 0.7000. The long would be confluent with a filling of the weekend gap and looks more likely to happen first, so this was likely to be the only opportunity to watch out for. I had no directional bias.
As it happened, the bearish momentum put the price easily through 0.6888, which may well now have flipped to become new resistance. We are currently seeing sentiment against the Australian Dollar which is always sensitive to risk-off sentiment, which is helping to weaken the New Zealand Dollar. So, although the bearish movement may now be running out of momentum, I would be prepared to take a bearish bias if we see a retracement to the 0.6888 level following by a failure and a fresh bearish push. If the price can get and hold above 0.6888, that would be a bullish sign..jpg "NZDUSD")
