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.
USD/JPY Analysis
I had a slightly bullish bias yesterday, which worked OK for a few hours as the price went sideways, until the threatened imposition of more tariffs by President Trump sent the Yen strengthening rapidly, pushing the price of this pair down by approximately one hundred pips within only a few hours. The price has now found support at 109.60 and is rising from there with impressive short-term momentum, suggesting that this bullish bounce is likely to have some follow-through. However overall, this pair does look very unpredictable and there are going to be better opportunities elsewhere. I have no directional bias today.
There is nothing due concerning the JPY. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time.
