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 wrote yesterday that as the price had printed new support levels and was also well established within a bullish price channel., it looked likely that the pivotal level would be at $3,914. This was OK as the price remained within trend lines and the horizontal levels, making a relatively gentle and slow bearish retracement, so we do not have a strong reason to stop being bullish. The signs are all weakly bullish and I would take a bullish bias later if there is a bullish bounce at $3,914. A sustained break above $4,100 would be a more bullish sign yet.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
