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 had become less bullish, and the NZD was more bearish that the AUD which was another bearish sign. I would be prepared to take a short from a rejection of 0.6902. This was a great call as such a profitable price action trade did emerge towards the end of the New York session yesterday. A sustained break above 0.6902 would be a bullish sign, while a break below 0.6833 would be a bearish sign. There is no long-term trend, but we are moving towards a bullish trend and potential new multi-week highs.
