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

This pair depends today on the announcement of important US inflation figures and the extent of investor appetite for risk. Overall, the US dollar keeps benefiting from the US-China trade war, while the US Federal Reserve is expected this month to raise interest rates. For the fifth day in a row, the pair is stabilizing at the resistance level of 111.00 which supports the strong upside correction. I prefer buying bearish retracements.

USDJPY

There is nothing important due today concerning the JPY. Regarding the USD, there will be the release of consumer price index and jobless claims data.
