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.
EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that the picture was looking more bearish, but essentially uncertain. If the Pound stabilized and the support at 1.1350 was retested and held, I would have taken a cautiously bullish bias here later. As it happened, that level broke and the price continued to fall. This makes the picture more bearish still but at present this pair is a sideshow: The weak British Pound is dragging down the Euro, and the real action is in GBP/USD. That keeps EUR/USD bearish, but only weakly so. It looks as if the price is respecting technical levels which makes trading bounces at support and resistance probably the best strategy, with short trades likely to work best. However, we are getting close to 1.1250 which can provide long-term support, so bears should be cautious if the price gets to that area.
There is nothing important due today concerning the EUR. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CPI data at 1:30pm London time.
