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/CHF Analysis

This pair was dragged down yesterday by the highly positively correlated EUR/USD currency pair. It easily cut through anticipated support levels which clearly look to have been flipped to become support, which is a bearish sign. Despite that, the same movements can probably be traded with better opportunity today in the EUR/USD currency pair.
USDCHF

There is nothing scheduled today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time.
