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 Tuesday that the picture was looking more bullish as a new key higher double bottom is printed at 0.7145. However, as the bullish movement of recent hours was running out of momentum, I did not have any directional bias.
I was at least correct to note that the price was looking more bullish as it has continued to rise while most of the Forex market has been flat. We see new higher support levels and in recent hours the resistance at 0.7270 seems to have broken, clearing the way for a further rise to the 0.7321 area. I will have a bullish bias above 0.7285 today.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
