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 last Thursday that this pair was seeing the price ranging within a consolidation area and still impossible to predict except where there is short-term momentum. This was a good call as the price remained mostly range-bound since them. However, the new month’s market open has seen the price jump up to new significant highs and even almost test the psychologically important 1.1500 level. The market is in strongly risk-off mode which is boosting the Euro as it is a perceived semi-safe haven currency. This suggests that it makes sense to take a bullish bias, but 1.1500 may prevent much more of a further advance for the time being, so be careful.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
