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/CAD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the price was weak and looked like it was still very vulnerable to a strong bearish breakdown.

It is very interesting that although the USD came back yesterday against almost every currency, it still looks just as weak here against the CAD. This tells us there is relative strength right now in the Canadian Dollar. Technically, the bearish consolidation continues, so there is no change there.

I would take a bearish bias if we get a strong bearish failure at 1.3250 later, or if the price breaks below 1.3150 during today’s New York session on above-average volatility.USDCADThere is nothing of high importance due today regarding the CAD. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Core Durable Goods Orders data at 1:30pm London time.
