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.
USD/CHF Analysis
I wrote yesterday that the U.S. Dollar was particularly weak, so the price was falling here. However, I expected the move down to be limited. This was a good call as it reflects what happened, with the price not even getting down to the next support level yet. The general market environment is still keeping this pair away from the market’s focus. I have no directional bias generally, but I would be bullish if there is a strong reversal at either of the nearby support levels later, especially at the level of 0.9939.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
