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 yesterday that bears had a very slight edge, but it seemed as if the price was beginning to consolidate. I had no directional bias and thought it was quite likely little would happen here until the key AUD release due later. This was a good call as the price continued to slowly fall until the RBA release which was seen as a little bullish by the market and pushed the price up to 0.7260.

We can say that over the last 10 or 20 days we are seeing a bullish trend, but it is a weak trend which has not yet become established or meaningful. I would be more comfortable with taking long trades than short trades today, but I am not clear about likely direction.

Concerning the USD, there will be a release of ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time. Regarding the AUD, the Governor of the RBA will be speaking at 1:30am.
