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.

USD/INR Analysis
My USD/INR forecast today is that a bullish breakout beyond the all-time high at RS 83.7184 is likely to happen, but is far from certain. It may be that the price fails after testing this level, as markets might balk at sending the Rupee into record low territory, not to mention potential intervention to prop up the Rupee by the Reserve Bank of India might be forthcoming.
There are three ways to try to play the Rupee today:
- If at the close of business in India today, the price has closed near the high of the day and above RS 83.7184, then a long trade could be entered with a relatively wide stop loss, for example below the nearest support level at RS 82.9554. Trail the stop loss if the trade becomes a good winner.
- If the price exceeds RS 83.7184 today but then ends the day below that level and near the low of the day’s range, that could be a good signal for a short trade entry, which could get a tailwind from any Reserve Bank of India intervention. The stop loss can be placed just behind the record high.
- If the price does not exceed the record high but falls to the nearest support level which I have identified at RS 82.9554, and makes a bullish bounce there, a long trade entry could be appropriate, targeting the record high at RS 83.7184.
The technical picture looks bullish, with a rising pattern of price action supported by an ascending trend line joining the key recent sing lows.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the USD or the INR.
