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

There is no long-term trend in this pair. However, we do now see a clear and symmetrical bullish channel getting established. At the time of writing, the price is sitting on a confluence of both horizontal support and the lower channel trend line, so a bullish movement could provide an interesting long trade entry.USDCAD

There is nothing due today concerning the CAD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI at 3pm London time.
