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 yesterday that support and resistance levels were more likely than usual to hold. I saw the price as evenly balanced between bulls and bears on short and medium-term time frames.
This was a good call insofar as the price did not reach any of the key support or resistance levels. The price did not move much mostly due to the U.S. public holiday.
The Euro has weakened slightly over the past day and is moving down over the short-term.
The price is approaching strong key support at 1.1786 and below, which has been the lower boundary of the recent price range.
Despite the long-term bullish trend, if the price can make a significant break below the 1.1745 area, that will be a bearish sign.
We already have a technical double bottom at 1.1765 so the reaction when the price hit there, as it is very likely to, will tell us something.
I will take a long trade from a bullish bounce at 1.1765, 1.1745, or 1.1685 if we get any of these set-ups today.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the EUR or the USD.
