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.
AUD/USD Analysis
I wrote last Thursday that the outlook was uncertain: bullish over the very short-term, but no longer-term trend is present to exploit. I had no directional bias. This was a good approach as the price has just ranged backwards and forwards, without even ever reaching any of the identified levels. I have no change in my uncertain outlook here, with no bias, and I think any opportunities which may come today in the Forex market are likely to be in other currency pairs, at least until the Asian session later.
There is nothing due today regarding the USD, it is a public holiday in the U.S.A. Concerning the AUD, there will be a release of the RBA’s Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes at 12:30am London time.
