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 price was now far from either support or resistance.
The best observation I was able to make was that the low earlier this week above 0.6950 was still a long-term low and we can still be heading for a significant bearish breakdown to lower lows.
The price action over the past day has made the picture a little more bullish – we see new higher support slowly taking hold at 0.7002 which is a significant round number. I would be prepared to take a bullish bias if the price gets back down there and makes a strong bullish bounce.
Another bullish sign is that the AUD is stronger than the NZD. We have also seen the NZD recover over recent hours to trade where it was before the quarter-point rate cut was implemented a few hours ago by the RBNZ.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
