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 really needed to break out of the current range between the nearest resistance and support levels and stay there before it would become interesting, but in the meantime, it could be possible to take more of a risk and try to hold a rejection from one of the nearer key levels.
This was a good call as neither of the levels have been reached yet. Therefore, I would repeat today exactly the same thing that I said yesterday, but with a single change – it is possible that we are seeing new lower resistance form and hold at about $3,725 which is exactly where the price is sitting right now. However, getting bearish here looks dangerous as we have major and probably strong support close below at $3,646. This means that if the price can get established above $3,750 then I think it would be likely to move higher for some distance.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
