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.

EUR/USD Analysis

I wrote last Thursday that the levels at 1.1378 and 1.1372 would probably not be useful as the ECB release due later could push the price anywhere. This was a good call as the price swung down then up strongly. The picture now is slightly more bullish, but the problem is that both of these currencies are quite weak, the U.S. Dollar just happens to be a little weaker. For this reason, I think that 1.1425 is quite likely to hold today, but I think there will be better trading opportunities in other currency pairs.EURUSDThere is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD. Concerning the EUR, the President of the ECB will be testifying before the European Parliament at 2pm London time.
