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 recent risk recovery which had just boosted the AUD was quite likely to run out of steam soon, so I preferred to look for short trade entry opportunities. No resistance level was hit, but I was right about the direction being downwards, although the price has made a firm recovery in recent hours and got back to where it was.
Despite the short-term bullishness, I still see the resistance at 0.6094 as likely to hold, so a short trade from a bearish reversal there is likely to be the only good opportunity we might get today.
Volatility in this pair is still relatively strong, as it is in all the commodity currency pairs, so skilled traders might trade the swings in either directions on shorter time frames.There is nothing of high importance scheduled for today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 12:30pm London time.
