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
Yesterday I saw the day’s pivotal level as likely to be 1.1250. If the price could get established above that I thought it was likely to continue upwards, to at least 1.1275. In fact, it has only made it to 1.1260 before falling again. Liquidity will improve today and therefore it is really too early to make any calls before the London open as this tends to produce volatility and surprising price movement. The best that can be said now is that there is a long-term bearish trend in this currency pair.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
