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.

EUR/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that “recent days have seen symmetrical upwards swings, so going long after the currency pullback completes seems to be the highest probability trade which might arise.” This is exactly what happened over the past 24 hours, although the low was some way below the identified support level at 1.1250. This pair is very bullish and trending strongly, with the Euro showing the greatest long-term strength of any currency. Therefore I have a bullish outlook over the short term.

There is resistance above close to 1.1300, but it is above there that the situation is likely to get interesting, with the area around 1.1400 acting as the top of the range for the last two and a half years.

 EURUSD

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