My previous EUR/USD signal on 8th January produced a profitable long trade from the near pin bar which made a bullish rejection of the support at $1.0930 on the hourly time frame.

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 one week ago, I wrote that the pair was making a consolidation between roughly $1.0900 and $1.1000. I thought that a bullish bounce at the higher support level of $1.0930 could be a nice trade but I warned that the $1.1000 area was likely to hold as strong support. This was a good and completely accurate call in its entirety.
The technical picture is completely unchanged with the small exception of the re-establishment of the higher support level near $1.0930 – it is now positioned at $1.0936. The big round number support and resistance at $1.0900 and $1.1000 remain intact as significant barriers to price action. This looks unlikely to change soon, especially today with no major news about either currency scheduled. It is also a typically quiet Monday.
I therefore see the best potential opportunities here as a long scalp from $1.0901 or a short scalp from $1.0998. I think the breakout which eventually happens will be to the long side, above the $1.1000 area, which will be bullishly significant.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the EUR or the USD.
