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.
AUD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that the short-term price action was bearish and looked as if, should the price manage to break below 0.7125, it could fall much further over this week. I was ready to take a bearish bias if the price was making new lows as the New York session got underway. This was a good call as the pair has continued to slowly fall and has got very close to the support level at 0.7109. It seems likely that the support will hold in this environment, and that the price will now consolidate above 0.7109 with little definite directional movement. The Australian inflation data due later during the Asian session is likely to be the prime driver today, and this is uncertain so it might be wise to step aside unless the price gets active during the New York session and breaks a key level or strongly bounces off one.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the USD. Regarding the AUD, there will be a release of CPI data at 2:30am London time.
