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.

AUD/USD Analysis

We have a very significant development today in this pair. The AUD has been one of the strongest currencies against the USD over the past several months and today it is finally breaking up above the psychologically key 0.7500 level. If this holds it will be a very bullish sign. Above 0.7600, this pair starts to reach its price levels of 3 and 6 months ago, and if it gets there, this is a great technical indicator for the establishment of a long-term bullish trend. Meanwhile, it looks like a great vehicle to use for exploiting weakness in the USD.
AUDUSD

There is nothing due today regarding either the AUD or the USD.
