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

Yesterday I foresaw a range between 0.9600 and 0.9700 as the most likely scenario and that is what we got. The price has been going up and down within this area over several days now. The U.S. Dollar is weak so I am not sure that a bounce off 0.9600 would have much sustainability, but it could be a satisfactory level to scalp for a few pips.

USDCHF

There is nothing due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of PPI and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time, followed at 3pm by the testimony of the Chair of the Federal Reserve before Congress.
