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.
EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that the resistance level at 1.1477 looked attractive as it was currently perfectly confluent with a short-term bearish trend line shown in the price chart below. However, I thought the price direction looked uncertain.
The picture is a little more bearish now, as the price has fallen further, and invalidated the former support level at 1.1435 while printing new lower resistance at 1.1440.
The U.S. Dollar is broadly strong.
I would take a bearish bias today at a bearish reversal following a pull back to 1.1440 or 1.1477.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the EUR. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time.
