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

I wrote yesterday that a break up above 1.2369 would be a strongly bullish sign and suggest that the long-term bullish trend was truly getting back underway. This is what happened and towards the end of the day even though the pace of the advance slowed, it formed a bullish pennant pattern and as the European open approaches, the price continues to make new highs. The signs are all bullish, yet there are several key resistance levels close by clustered at and mostly below the big round number at 1.2500. If the price continues to advance strongly through these levels, it would be an extremely bullish sign. There is no reason not to be bullish on this pair but be aware we are getting close to 1.2500.

EURUSD

There is nothing due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 1:15pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm.
