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.
I repeated yesterday, again that the best that could be said was that the longer the price remains above $6,353, the more likely it was to rise eventually, but it looked like it could easily go sideways for a while yet, so I had no interest in trading this pair. This was a good call as there has finally been a little upwards movement, but the still remains within its range of the last 10 days or so, so don’t get too excited yet. The longer the price remains within this range, the stronger the eventual volatility breakout is likely to be quite strong when it finally does come, but until that happens, it will probably be wise to stand aside.
There is nothing important due today regarding the USD.
