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.

AUD/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the price has moved up and broken strongly and cleanly through all of these resistance levels I was looking at – it seems we have made a major, long-term bullish bottom below 0.6700. I had confidence that the move would persist and only wanted to seek a long trade entry.

This was a good call as the price has continued to advance very stiffly, and I was right to see this as a major bullish development. The break now above 0.6800 is technically significant. Unfortunately, we did not get any retraces to support levels. However, we are bound to get this soon which should bring a good long trade entry opportunity at least once.

I would take a bullish bias today if we get any bullish bounces at a key support level following a bearish pull-back.AUDUSDThere is nothing of high importance due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 1:15pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 4pm.
