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 the price was caught between 0.9702 and 0.9788.
I took no directional bias on this currency pair yesterday.
In fact, it was a good call overall, as these numbers practically held the price at both ends over the course of the day.
The price is right in the middle of this zone and going nowhere, so I would again take no directional bias, but would look to scalp reversals at either 0.9702 or 0.9791. Both of these key levels are also quite confluent with round numbers, which should help them hold firm, so I think both of these levels will survive today without being broken.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
