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 the price had just broken below a formerly supportive area at $3,450 which now looked likely to hold as resistance. I took a bearish bias below $3,450 and above $3,274. This was a good call: the resistance held, and the price continued to move down. The picture remains slightly bearish, but the action is quite dull, and I doubt there will be any good opportunities here today, so I take no bias now. A break above $3,450 would be a bullish sign.
Concerning the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
