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 took a bearish bias yesterday and that proved to be a correct approach as the price continued to fall, although it has risen in recent hours. The picture still looks bearish, with possible minor resistance at 0.6930 even before either of the bearish trend lines in the price chart shown below could be reached.NZDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time.
