My previous EUR/USD signal on 1st August was not triggered, as there was insufficiently bearish price action when the resistance level at $1.1038 was first reached that day.

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
In my previous analysis of the EUR/USD currency pair, I wrote that bullish and bearish influences were mixed, and that the best potential trade which might set up would be a short entry following a bearish rejection of the resistance level at $1.1006.
I was correct to look to the short side during the London session, as the price dropped, but I was wrong about the reversal’s level, which took place above $1.1006.
The technical picture now shows a consolidation between $1.0910 and $1.1038, with the resistance at $1.1038 looking very strong – it is likely to be a large option barrier.
I simply think that any reversals which look solid from any key support or resistance level will look like a good day trade today, and the consolidation range is likely to hold.
I take a weak bearish bias, as recent price action is more clearly showing higher lows than lower highs.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
