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 last Thursday that I would take a bullish bias above $3,732 and a bearish bias below $3,563. I cannot see either outcome being more probable than the other, but the price action does look right for a breakout in either direction on higher volatility soon.
I was right about the key levels, which all held, but wrong to expect a major breakout, which only happened finally just a few hours ago.
The price is behaving very technically, there is no long-term trend, key levels are being respect. The Dollar is strengthening which gives more weight to the bearish case. A move down over the next few hours looks like the most likely outcome, to the next support at $3,450.
There is nothing due of high importance due today regarding the USD. It is a public holiday today in the USA.
