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.

USD/CHF Analysis

This pair, like its sister pair EUR/USD, is in a strong trend against the USD and reaching long-term high/low prices. Just as the EUR/USD may finally be making a short-term top at 1.1250, so this pair had a strong buy reaction at the support level of 0.9694 yesterday. This is against the trend, but could be the beginning of a deep pullback. The price has barely risen from that candlestick so far, but it does look as if there is now going to be some type of counter-trend bullish move over the short-term at least. As this pair likes to range, it could be a very good trade.

USDCHF

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