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 the technical picture had become more bearish as support levels have broken down, but even more importantly we saw the final shoulder of what looked like a bearish head and shoulders pattern forming, with a neckline at about 1.1767.
I was looking for a short trade below 1.1767, but the price never even reached this level, and mostly went sideways over the past day.
I was correct to see 1.1767 as pivotal and it still looks pivotal.
The U.S. dollar is generally the second-weakest major currency after the Japanese yen but is regaining a little ground now as markets stabilize somewhat after last week’s volatility driven by the disputed result of the U.S. election.
What is more noteworthy is the relative weakness of the euro.
For these reasons, I remain interested in a short trade entry following two consecutive hourly closes below the support level at 1.1767, targeting the next support level and round number at 1.1700.
