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 almost two weeks ago, I wrote that the
environment was bullish for both fundamental and technical reasons. The US Dollar was reaching multi-month lows on an increasingly firm market expectation that the Fed will begin cutting interest rates in March 2024. The European Central Bank’s policy was seen as relatively hawkish.
Technically the price had made a breakout above $1.1000 to new 4-month highs.
This bullish picture has changed, as we saw the big risk-on rally which was manifested bullishly in this currency pair peak and then decline sharply, driving the price down from its recent highs. However, recent days have seen consolidation, as can be seen in the price chart below, with the price seeming to find support in the $1.0900 area after printing a double bottom at that level. It is obvious that there is strong resistance confluent with the big round number at $1.1000.
I think with the bullish bounce a few hours ago at the higher support level of $1.0930, we are likely to see an up day here today. There may still be time to enter long as the London session gets underway for a swing trade if the price does not accelerate too quickly.
Top Forex Brokers
Bulls should be cautious of the resistance levels near $1.1000, as this resistance is likely to hold today as it will probably be a quiet Monday without any major relevant economic data releases.
If the price gets established below $1.0900 today, that will be a very bearish sign.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the EUR or the USD.
