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

I had no bias yesterday, as I saw the price as trapped between two levels and just as likely to break out anywhere. Yesterday we had an initial false break short, and then a real breakout long, and the price has continued to advance, so now we have more clarity as to direction. I take a bullish bias today. There may also be support at 0.7710 as well as 0.7695.

AUDUSD 

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of PPI data at 1:30pm London time. Concerning the AUD, the Governor of the RBA will be making a minor speech at 6am.
