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 Wednesday that it was quite likely we would see lower prices over the short-term, but there was also a chance that we have put in a long-term low, so the price may slowly rise from here over the coming days and weeks – it may be good odds for a long-term buy.

I expected that it would be interesting how the price reacts over the coming days and that should tell us a lot about where the NZD is going.

This was a pretty good call as the price hasn’t really gone anywhere since I wrote that – it has just fluctuated up and down. It seems increasingly likely that we have put in a major bottom here last week, and although the action still looks finely balanced, the picture is definitely a little more bullish. However, I would want to see the recent highs just above 0.6610 taken out before taking any bullish bias. Alternatively, if the price can close for two consecutive hours below 0.6569, I would take a bearish bias. I doubt either scenario will play out today.NZDUSDThere is nothing important due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
