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 as it was likely to be a quiet day in the market, the best approach would be to trade any bounce rejecting the levels at either 0.6877 or 0.6927. I took no directional bias on this currency pair today.

This was the right approach as the price has continued to consolidate in wide swings, but unfortunately the bottom was a bit lower than 0.6877 so wasn’t exploited.

There is no change to the technical picture, we still see wide swings within a range from 0.6927 and 0.6855, so I would be looking to fade reversals at either of these extreme levels. However, watch out for the RBA’s Monetary Policy Statement which could produce a break of this range if it contains any surprises. More likely, it will produce a spike in the price to one of the extremes, giving a trading opportunity, so just after the release is likely to give the best time for a trade entry.

I again have no directional bias on this currency pair.AUDUSDRegarding the AUD, there will be a release of the RBA’s Monetary Policy Statement at 12:30am London time. There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the USD.
