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

Yesterday produced a small but significant development, with the price breaking out of the formerly solid bearish channel, and flipping the former support level just below the psychologically key number at 0.8000 from resistance to support. This pair now has a more clearly bullish outlook.

The best potential opportunity here looks to be a long from another bullish bounce following a fall to 0.8000.AUDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the FOMC Statement, Projections, and Federal Funds Rate at 7pm London time, followed by the usual press conference. There will also be a release of Crude Oil Inventories earlier at 3:30pm.
