My previous EUR/USD signal on 26th March produced a profitable short trade from the resistance level which I had identified at $1.0855.

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
In my previous analysis of the EUR/USD currency pair almost two weeks ago, I wrote that although there was a descending trend line above, as there were several support and resistance levels so close by, the price was likely to range and be prone to reversals. I also thought one of the best chances for a trade entry would be a short trade off $1.0855.
Both were good and accurate calls.
The technical picture now looks uncertain, with no real direction or momentum in this currency pair, which has been going sideways for quite some time.
I think the best approach on what is likely to be a quiet Monday will be to look for a long scalp off $1.0800 or a short scalp off $1.0848.
There is nothing of high importance scheduled today concerning either the EUR or the USD.
