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.
NZD/USD Analysis
I wrote last Thursday that the level at 0.6833 looked likely to be the day’s pivotal point, and the longer it took to break down, the stronger I thought the eventual downwards breakdown would be likely to be. This was a good call as the breakdown came quickly and the price fell by almost 40 pips within three hours, so my bearish bias paid off.
It now looks as if the price will drift down to touch the nearest support level at 0.6970. As there is another support level just below it, there could be a major bullish reversal here, but I take no directional bias on this pair today.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
