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 more bearish as despite the technical structure still looking medium-term bullish, we were seeing a steady sell-off in this pair. However, it seemed quite likely that we were going to get some amount of bullish bounce when the support at 0.6605 was tested again, which looked very likely to happen.
I was right that 0.6605 would be reached, and the lack of a solid bounce there was the first sign that the level would be broken so my forecast was at least enough to stay out of trouble. The break below the level happened quite cleanly so it will probably act as resistance now.
I think the price here is quite likely to continue to fall over the coming hours and maybe even reach the nearest support level at 0.6558. I would take a bearish bias if we get a retracement to the new resistance at 0.6605 and see a strong bearish bounce and rejection of the level there.There is nothing important due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
