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

This pair has reached a very interesting point. It is in a long-term uptrend, uniquely amongst major Forex currency USD pairs. It is testing an area which has acted as strong resistance for more than a year, and the level at 0.7750 which is part of this resistance is also a key psychological level. During the past year, the price has fallen by hundreds of pips from this level. For these reasons, I think this is a very pivotal area: we are relatively likely to either get a strong bullish breakout, or a sharp fall, so if either likelihood can be identified when it starts to happen, there is a profitable trade to be made.AUDUSD

There is nothing due today regarding the USD. Concerning the AUD, there will be a release of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes at 12:30am London time.
