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 last Thursday that the picture had become more bearish, with the former support at 1.0058 flipping to become new lower resistance, but the support at 1.0025 still looked strong. I was ready to take a bearish bias if the price got established below 1.0025. It was not able to do so that day, but has done since, and looks like falling lower still at the time of writing. It has room to fall all the way to 0.9965 before meeting any key support so lower prices over today will not surprise me, especially if the EUR/USD currency pair can get established above 1.1344.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the CHF or the USD.
