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 this pair was breaking into multi-month bearish blue sky now below 0.6940 with every sign that the price was going to continue to fall to make lower prices.
The Australian Dollar was the weakest major currency and there were no support levels to prevent the price falling by at least another 100 pips, so the line of least resistance was clearly downwards.
There was no reason not to be bearish and I took a strongly bearish bias here.
This was a great call as the price has continued to fall to new lows. Everything I wrote yesterday applies again today.
I take a strongly bearish bias on this currency pair again today.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time. Concerning the AUD, there will be a release of Employment Change and Unemployment Rate data at 2:30am.
