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 price looked very evenly balanced between bulls and bears, and the market was quiet and ranging, so I had no directional bias.
The U.S. Dollar sold off broadly yesterday, and the Euro rose a little as the British Pound moved sharply upwards. The resistance level at 1.1357 held, but we have higher support at 1.1325 and adjusted lower support at 1.1276.
The bullishness does not look very strong or convincing, so I see rejections of any of the key levels as potentially good trades in either direction if the rejection is convincing. The price is likely to struggle to get above 1.1400 as we have a cluster of three resistance levels between 1.1350 and 1.1400. A break above 1.1400, if it happens, would be a significantly bullish sign.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the EUR. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm London time.
