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.

 

NZD/USD Analysis

This pair made an obvious and clean bearish turn off the resistance level I identified yesterday at 0.7039. However, the price then turned around and took out the resistance level, killing the trade before falling again. This suggests the price will continue to drift upwards, despite the long-term bearish trend.

There will probably be better opportunities elsewhere over the short-term.
NZDUSd
