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.
EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote last Thursday that as the pace of the down trend was slowing, and volatility was very low, a deeper bullish pull back was becoming increasingly likely to happen. However, the downwards trend was still there, so I was again looking to take a bearish bias at any bearish rejections of any resistance level. I was correct to note that a bullish move was becoming more likely as this is what happened.
The price is now looking more bullish, having established new support above 1.1018. The British Pound is strong right now and this is dragging up the Euro along with it, while the U.S. Dollar trades as one of the weaker major currencies. This suggests that the line of least resistance is likely to be upwards, and the price has room to rise today to at least 1.1093. Therefore, I take a weakly bullish bias on this currency pair today above 1.1056. There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
