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 U.S. Dollar was broadly strong.
I was ready to take a bearish bias at a bearish reversal following a pull back to 1.1440 or 1.1477.
The pull-back never happened but I was correct to look for a short trade as the price fell over the course of the past 24 hours.
The picture looks somewhat more bearish, technically dominated by the bearish trend lines shown in the price chart below.
I would take a bearish bias today if the price is below 1.1390 at 9am London time, but I would also beware of the support levels above 1.1372. If the price can break below them, it could fall all the way to 1.1350.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the EUR or the USD.
