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.
I was correct to take a bearish bias last Thursday, as the price continued to behave technically and respect the long-term downwards trend and key support and resistance levels. The price continued to fall up to the weekly close, with the Euro being the weakest currency of all last week. This was partially due to the increasing prospect of an Italian government being former which would be negative for the Euro, but that prospect appears to have ended now. This has made the Euro open much more strongly, with a gap up, despite the long-term bearish trend. Trading is likely to be think after the Asian session today, due to holidays in both London and New York. The rally may well continue for a while, but the first real test will not come until the resistance at 1.1747 is reached confluent with the key psychological level at 1.1750. I have no directional bias today.
There is nothing due today concerning either the EUR or the USD. It is a public holiday in the United States today.
