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/CAD Analysis

I wrote last Thursday that if the price rose to 1.3325 and then made a strongly bearish reversal, I would take a bearish bias. I was right at least that the level would hold as the price has moved down a little after reaching a maximum high of 1.3319.

This pair looks awful to trade, action is completely choppy and consolidative. It is very likely to be a good idea to ignore this pair today and look for potential opportunities elsewhere.There is nothing important due regarding either the USD or the CAD. It is a public holiday in the USA.
