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

The price has fallen heavily over the past few days, printing several obvious new resistance levels, not even one of which has yet been tested. This is a very bearish development and although the past few hours have seen a bullish turn, there is nothing bullish enough here to disrupt the overwhelmingly bearish pattern flow. There may be an opportunity to go short later, if this bullish swing fails in the 0.7720 to 0.7735 area.AUDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning the USD. Regarding the AUD, there will be a release of Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes at 12:30am.
