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 the price looked likely to fall further following this failure to get established above the resistance at $3,470, but there may well be support at about $3,360. This was a reasonably good call as the price did continue to fall over the course of that day.
There is no change to the technical picture since last Thursday – the resistance at $3,470 held and the price has again fallen from there, but it is not making any significant lower lows, in fact the swing lows are getting higher. This suggests bulls and bears are quite evenly balanced at present. The price seems to be behaving technically so reversals at both support and resistance could be equally interesting. A strong bullish move which holds up above $3,470 would be a significant bullish sign.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
