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 noted yesterday that there had been a surprising bullish turn which was strong and dramatic, pushing the price well out of its medium-term bearish price channel. I saw this as a significant bullish development which really changed the technical picture and made the outlook considerably more bullish. I was wrong, and the technical situation now looks freer and more able to move up and yet very chaotic, making it hard to make any call. I have little faith in any of the levels or lines and it looks like a good idea to completely avoid trading this currency pair today.
There is nothing important due today concerning the CAD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of PPI data at 1:30pm London time.
