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/CAD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the picture looked very bullish, but the price was extended and close to key resistance at 1.3275, so the moment may have passed. I was correct about that, as the price turned around and fell sharply as the U.S. Dollar started to give up its recent gains. However, the short-term picture is very bullish, as the price made a strongly bullish turn at 1.3160 a few hours ago, establishing that level as new higher support. This pair can best be described as cautiously bullish, with deep bearish pull-backs. I expect higher prices over the short term, but it is quite likely that the rise will be halted at about 1.3220 where there is minor resistance.USDCAD

There is nothing important due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
