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 technical picture was looking more likely to see ranging conditions, as the bears seemed to have run out of momentum, which was ideal for entering trades after firm reversals at either support or resistance. Overall, I had no directional bias. This was a good call as the price consolidated and was held between the nearest key price levels.
I do not see any change today, we are likely to see a continuation of the ranging condition, especially as market liquidity will be very thin after the London session because the U.S. is on holiday today.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD. It is a public holiday in the U.S.A. today
