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
In my previous AUD/USD forecast a little more than one week ago, I wrote that as the technical picture had become more bullish, I saw a nice buying opportunity if the price came back down to the nearest support level at $0.6716.
The price did reach this level, but there was no bounce, so it was not an accurate or useful call.
Today, we see the past three weeks has basically been a flat consolidation within just about 100 pips, or maybe even less most of the time.
Although the consolidation is quite flat, it is clear there is a long-term bullish trend here, so a buy from a bullish bounce at a key support level will probably be the way to trade this currency pair.
The support at $0.6661 looks pivotal and strong.
If the price makes a sustained break below $0.6661, that will be a bearish sign, although not a very strong one.
A bullish breakout beyond $0.6760 would be a bullish sign and might be another event which could be used as a long trade entry trigger.
There is nothing of high importance scheduled today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:15pm London time today, followed by JOLTS Job Openings and ISM Services PMI at 3pm.
