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 last Monday that the NZD was the weakest of all the major currencies, and still looked bearish below 0.6750. I would take a bearish bias if we got a solid bearish rejection of the 0.6750 after the bullish retracement continues to push the price up there.

This was a good call as the price soon invalidated the level and continued to push up and invalidate the bearish price channel. So, despite the fact that the price is near long-term lows, the picture looks more bullish. The resistance at 0.6774 looks pivotal and likely to be tested later today. I would take a bearish bias if we got a strong bearish rejection there later today.
