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/CAD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that I saw it as very difficult to predict movement in this pair, so I thought there were likely to be better opportunities elsewhere. I had no directional bias. This was probably a good call as the price remained stuck between support and resistance, although this might have given opportunities for quick trades with modest profit targets.
The picture now seems to be more bullish and it looks likely that the resistance level at 1.3367 which held yesterday is going to be today’s pivotal level. I would take a bullish bias here if the price can break above that level strongly and trade there for a couple of hours.
There is nothing important due today regarding either the USD or the CAD.
