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.
This currency pair has been in a strong and clear long-term bullish trend, moving up every single week during the past two months – until the last week. The bullish move is finally running out of steam, with the Dollar still strong but advancing against other currencies.
the price has been mostly consolidating over the past three weeks, ever since it reached the psychologically important parity area of 1.000. I had thought that a long trade after a fast drop to the nearest support level would still be likely to give some long pips. However, I think the bearish trend line shown in the price chart below could be much more interesting if it offers a short trade upon a bearish reversal if it is touched again soon. I have no directional bias as the action is simply too consolidative to be predicted.
There is nothing due today concerning either the CHF or the USD. It is a public holiday in Switzerland today.
