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

Yesterday I saw the overall picture as bullish, predicting this would not change unless there is a sustained break below the supportive area centred on the major psychological number of 0.7500. The price has continued to rise and I maintain my bullish bias. However, the area just above 0.7600 up to 0.7625 has historically been a very pivotal area for this currency pair, and so a major bearish reversal there is something to watch out for.AUDUSD

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CPI and Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm. Finally, we will get the FOMC Statement, Federal Funds Rate, and Economic Projections at 7pm with the usual Press Conference half an hour later. Concerning the AUD, there will be releases of Employment Change and Unemployment Rate data at 2:30am.
