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
I wrote in my previous forecast on Tuesday last week that the AUD/USD currency pair was looking more bullish. I thought that a bullish bounce at $0.6590 could be a good long trade, if carefully monitored for profit-taking. This was an excellent, profitable call.
The technical picture now shows that after rising to a new 4-month high yesterday, spurred mostly by softer than expected US CPI data released yesterday, the price has fallen back with equal momentum since the Asian session began.
The price may be sitting on new support right now in the $0.6675 area, but it is not yet clear whether this area will be supportive.
There is a fairly tight cluster of three resistance levels above yesterday’s high, while the support below is more spread out.
I think a long trade from a bullish bounce at any support level, especially the one at $0.6629, could be a nice long trade, due to the long-term risk-on trend.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the AUD or the USD.
