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

Yesterday I took a bearish bias as the AUD was clearly weak, as was its most closely correlated currency, the NZD, which added to the bearish picture. The price has fallen by a little over the past 24 hours, but not by much, although there is every reason to remain bearish, with a pattern of lower highs and lower lows clearly visible in the price chart shown below. The technical picture is unchanged.

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories at 2:30pm London time, followed by the FOMC Statement, Economic Projections, and Federal Funds Rate at 6pm, followed later by the usual press conference. Concerning the AUD, there will be a release of Unemployment Rate and Employment Change data at 12:30am London time.
