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 AUD was basically one of the strongest currencies right now. However, I saw the area of resistance which begins at 0.6927 as likely to hold for a while. This was a good call, and I also noted that the RBA Rate Statement could give this pair some stronger direction which has also happened. Unfortunately, the bullish bounce was lower than I had expected.
The RBA hinted earlier in their Rate Statement that there will be no more rate cuts, and this has boosted the AUD quite strongly. At the time of writing, the bulls are pushing the price up and knocking at the resistance at 0.6927. I’d be careful of taking any short trades in this area until the price cools off over several hours. However, it is a long-term pivotal area, so we could well see a big bearish turn here.
If the price can get established above 0.6955, that would be a bullish sign and suggest a continuation to the big round number at 0.7000. 
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time.
