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 I had no directional bias and that it would be a hard call between the big number at 1.3000 holding for bears or the recent bullish momentum securing finally a break above that level. This was quite accurate as you could argue that both these scenarios happened, as the price popped above 1.3000 briefly but quickly retreated. There is no doubt that the technical picture has become increasingly bullish over the medium term, although there is no long-term trend. However, the USD is strong and Crude Oil is weakening which has hit the Canadian Dollar. Over the short-term 1.3000 may hold but I think it will be broken again within the next few days. I have no directional bias today though.
There is nothing due today concerning the CAD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
