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 the price was really consolidating within a range over this 1.13 to 1.15 area, so we were likely to see the price continue to move slowly between key support and resistance levels. As such, I had no directional bias on this currency pair. This was a good call as the range has held. All that can be added from the past few days is that the price looks just a little more bullish than it did before, and that we have a new key resistance level at 1.1430, so if the price can trade above that level for an hour or two, it would have a chance to continue up to 1.1500. The situation is still summarised as a range between 1.1300 and 1.1500 so reversals at either area are likely to be the best trades possible here right now. I have no directional bias yet.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time.
