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 although the picture looked more bullish, the price was still within a long-term consolidation and so the pair was best avoided. In fact, the price turned strongly bearish and began to fall, but it was due to the Turkish crisis strengthening the Dollar and not really due to anything happening with either of the currencies within this pair.

The price action here is like all the U.S. Dollar pairs – new 1-year highs with a strong Dollar beginning to flatten out over the short term. I think there will be a bottom here and the price will not fall significantly further, because we have a cluster of support levels here between 0.7200 and 0.7260, and the major psychological level of 0.7250. Nevertheless, it is probably too early to get long, so it may be better to stand aside again here, due to the long-term bearish trend.

There is nothing important due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
