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.

USD/CHF Analysis

I wrote last Thursday that safe havens were relatively strong today and the Swiss Franc was no exception, but the move down may be running out of steam, and the long-term trend was certainly choppy, so it was difficult to have much confidence in direction. This was an overly cautious call, as the price has continued to fall strongly and break to new multi-month lows. The Swiss Franc has the greatest long-term strength of any major currency, so shorting this currency pair seems to have the odds in favour of it now. Bears should be aware that this pair in recent years has tended to snap back strongly and suddenly against emerging major trends, so be careful shorting this.

I would take a bearish bias today if we get a bearish failure at any key resistance level.USDCHFThere is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the CHF or the USD.
