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/JPY Analysis
It is not really worth having this pair in focus now: volatility is very low, and the price has been ranging for months. In fact, the consolidation is getting tighter and narrower, although it can be argued that this means that some type of volatility breakout is under way. In my view, there are going to be better opportunities elsewhere. There is a small, short-term bullish trend with the price moving up in recent hours, but I doubt it will last. The move will probably fail at the recent high of 113.40 or possibly at the half number of 113.50.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the USD or the JPY.
