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 despite the bearishness, we had support just above the big round number at 0.7000 which might produce some long-term buying which could drive the price up again. It is only Tuesday, so the price could still end the week higher after such a strong downwards counter-trend movement, so I was definitely looking for a buy from 0.7004.
I was correct to look to the long side, as after hitting a low at 0.7020, the price bounced back quite strongly.
Technically, the fact that the price broke above three resistance levels and is still holding up above the former resistance level at 0.7070 as new support, is a bullish sign. Another bullish indication is that the price is still below its weekly open, yet after such a sharp counter-trend movement as we saw here last week, the price is most like to end this week above its open – statistically, there is about a 55% chance of that.
I see the best potential here as a long trade, especially from 0.7070 if that level holds as support.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the USD or the AUD.
