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.
The situation has changed since yesterday with a reasonably strong fall in the price, and a fresh resistance level which has printed at 0.8004 confluent with the major round number at 0.8000. So, I drop my bullish bias and change it to a stance of no directional bias. It looks as if the price is likely to continue downwards to reach 0.7938 at least. I see a ranging period as most likely to happen next, so either long or short bounces from key levels can be taken. However, as 0.8000 is such a significant number, we might see a medium or long-term fall from this area, meaning short trades are probably likely to have a higher reward to risk ratio.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
