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/CHF Analysis
I wrote yesterday that the resistance level at 0.9953 was probably going to be the day’s pivotal price, with a further fall likely if the price could not get established above it. This was a good call and reflected what happened over the day, as the price fell in line with the well-established medium-term bearish price channel, which can be seen in the chart below. We have new lower resistance levels which suggests that the price is going to continue to fall.
I have a bearish bias today as long as the price is below 0.9885.
There is nothing important due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
