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 the U.S. Dollar was quite strong but was not advancing very strongly here. I thought there was a weak likelihood of higher prices today if the price could get established above 1.0050. This was a good call, although the price fell back later to the level at 1.0052 which now seems to have become established as support.
There is a case to be bullish as long as 1.0052 holds as the London session gets underway, but the U.S. Dollar is more mixed now, and as this pair tends not to trend, I would be more excited about a possible strong reversal at 1.0110 providing a short trade opportunity if it is reached later.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the CHF. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of CPI data at 1:30pm London time.
