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 yesterday that the picture had become more bullish, but bulls should be cautious that there was an unbroken swing high above the current price at 1.1360. This was a good call as new resistance has formed at 1.1358 over a very quiet day of trading. The price here is now between support and resistance right in the middle of its long-term range, awaiting the FOMC release tonight which will hopefully give some direction. For the time being scalping rejections of either key level is likely to be the best approach.EURUSDThere is nothing of high importance due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of the FOMC Statement, Economic Projections, and Federal Funds Rate at 6pm London time, followed by the usual press conference half an hour later.
