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.
NZD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that the price was stuck and quite evenly balanced. This meant it was probably unwise to be in any trades until the price gets out of this range between 0.6873 and 0.6901. However, I was comfortable taking a bullish bias above 0.6873, which turned out to be a bad call. I was right that a break out of the range would probably produce stronger directional movement though, as we have seen the price fall further than the 0.6873 level once the price got below it. Part of the reason for the fall was the NZD being dragged down by a strongly falling AUD, as well as the general strength of the USD.
The picture now is more bearish, despite medium-term strength in the USD, so I would be comfortable taking a bearish bias following a rejection of either of the nearby resistance levels.
Regarding the NZD, there will be releases of Employment Change and Unemployment Rate data at 9:45pm London time. Regarding the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be making a minor speech at Midnight.
