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.

NZD/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the picture has become even more bearish, and it looked as if we were going to see still lower prices. We did, in fact the strongest movement in the Forex market has been happening in this pair over recent hours as the price has continued, and still continues, to fall. However, I also though that a clean downwards movement was unlikely to continue for very long. I was wrong about that, thinking there was not a good opportunity here when there was.

The price is making new lows as I speak and I expect that it will continues down to 0.6708 at least, so I take a bearish bias above that price today.

If the price then goes on to break below 0.6700 and stay there for a couple of hours, that would be a very bearish sign.NZDUSDThere is nothing important due regarding either the USD or the NZD.
