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.
I was correct yesterday to be bullish on this pair, as it continues to show upwards movement and has printed a new higher support level at 0.7188. I would not look to use this level as it has already had a lot of contact, even though it has successfully held the price up. An interesting development to watch out for would be a fast drop back to the medium-term trend line which is currently sitting at about 0.7150, a half number. Although there is a clearly bullish medium-term trend, the resistance at 0.7240 could be expected to be strong as it is close to the key psychological number of 0.7250.
There is nothing important due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of PPI data at 1:30pm London time.
