Last Thursday’s signals produced a losing trade from the bullish pin candlestick which rejected the support level identified at 1.1753.

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 a bullish bounce from 1.1753, especially if 1.1750 was also hit, would be a worthwhile long trade entry opportunity. I was wrong, this was not a good call, as the price broke lower before recovering.
The weak bullish trend has persisted, and as this week opens the price is still holding up above the nearest resistance level at 1.1796. Trading is likely to be thin today due to it being Monday, as well as a day with no key data releases scheduled, and it is also a public holiday in the U.S.A.
It is likely that the price will not move much today. The best approach will probably be to try to take a long scalp off any touch of the nearest support level at 1.1796, with an entry point ideally above 1.1800 as well as that level.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the USD or the EUR. It is a public holiday in the U.S.A. today.
