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.

 

NZD/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the support at 0.7334 would probably be reached in the coming hours, and how the price reacted there should determine whether a deeper pull-back within the current long-term bullish trend was likely or not. The level was reached and broken, and the action looks quite bearish. There are two support levels not far away and the higher one, at 0.7304, is likely to be reached. I feel that the coming days will see the price falling further, all the way down to the 0.7250 area, so I take a bearish bias now looking forward. Much will depend upon the New Zealand inflation data due later.
