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 Monday that the price was behaving very technically, there was no long-term trend, key levels were being respected. A move down over the next few hours looked like the most likely outcome, to the next support at $3,450. This was a good call and produced a profitable short trade.
The price currently looks much more finely balanced, with support and resistance levels extremely close by, so I would avoid trading this pair until we get at least one of these close levels invalidated or flipped.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
