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

Although the price has found it hard to even reach 0.7700, let alone break up above it, the picture is still basically bullish with all support levels and trend lines holding. Although the USD has found renewed strength, the AUD is holding up even more strongly. There is no reason not to be bullish except that the 0.7700 area has held as resistance for a very long time.

AUDUSD

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