Long Trade Ideas

• Go long following a bullish price action reversal on the H1 time frame immediately upon the next touch of 1.1206 or 1.1161.

• Put the stop loss 1 pip below the local swing low.

• Adjust the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.

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 support at 1.1206 just above the round number looked very likely to be the day’s pivotal level. I had no firm directional bias. The price got very close to this level which has continued to hold. We are very likely to get a test of it at some point today so it should be the day’s pivotal point. It is tempting to take a bearish bias if that level breaks down due to the widespread strength of the U.S Dollar, but this pair is well within its long-term range and therefore could turn around quite easily. Probably the highest-probability trade setup which might occur in this pair today would be some long pips from a bullish bounce at 1.1206.There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the EUR. Concerning the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be making a minor speech at 1:45pm London time.
