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

The situation remains the same as yesterday, with this pair staying strangely unaffected by recent market movements over the past 24 hours. This pair is still in a long-term bullish trend, but the action is looking more and more bearish as wave after wave rejects the highs. It feels increasingly as if this long-term resistance at 0.7700 and above will hold and possibly produce the start of a large downwards movement. This pair is one to watch for either a sharp fall or a strong bullish breakout above 0.7750.AUDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm.
