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.
EUR/USD Analysis
We finally had the first day in a long time where “risk off” currencies such as the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen outperform more “risk on” currencies, though that is partially an oversimplification. What matters is that the Euro and Pound are now experiencing deep pullbacks within their strong bullish trends. We have seen a new resistance level form from previous support, and the current price action at the time of writing during the late Asian session suggests that the price is going to fall further today. That does not mean the trend is over. I have a short-term bearish bias and a long-term bullish bias on this pair.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time. There is nothing important due today concerning the EUR.
