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 yesterday that this pair is always a little dangerous to trade, but we had here one of the most interesting situations in the Forex market right now and there might be some easy pips to make on the long side. I was ready to take a bullish bias above 1.0160 to 1.0190 after New York opened.
The price has continued to rise, although it never managed to get above 1.0160. It is doing so now. If the price makes a strong upwards movement in the hour before 9am London time and closes close to its hourly high, I would be bullish until 1.0190 again. It looks like we have a strong and active long-term bullish trend to exploit here in this currency pair.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
