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 last Thursday that we had a relatively chaotic situation which was hard to trade. I wanted to avoid this currency pair for the time being.
I thought that a sustained break above 0.7130 would be a bullish sign and indicate a more definite and tradable price direction. That was a good call, at least it was useful in staying out of trouble, as the price never was able to get established above 0.7130.
The price is now trapped between support at 0.7088 and resistance at 0.7107, and overall, this pair is still a mess. This pair is best avoided for the time being.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
