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 situation technically had become very interesting and significant, with the price close to a 10-year low at 0.6745, which was also confluent with a major psychological level at 0.6750. If the price can get established below 0.6745, I thought it could fall much further very quickly. However, the price never even reached this level.
The Australian Dollar remains one of the weaker currencies over the long-term, despite its recovery over recent hours. I still see the big opportunity to watch for here as a sustained break to multi-year lows below 0.6745. If the price falls again to that area and makes a bullish reversal, a long-term buy could be a great trade – the 0.6750 is a very important pivotal point to watch.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
