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/CAD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that although the U.S. Dollar is in a long-term bullish trend, I had no directional bias. This pair is in a difficult position to trade, with longer-term charts showing a lack of clear direction. The only feature of the longer-term charts which looks as if it could be usefully applied today is the psychologically key price level of 1.2750 which has acted as a pivotal point in the recent past. As the U.S. Dollar is still quite bullish, and as there is no key news scheduled today, a strongly bullish bounce there might give an interesting long trade entry. There is a resistance level close by at 1.2793 but I do not have must trust in it.
There is nothing due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
