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.
NZD/USD Analysis
I thought yesterday that the support at 0.7343 would be broken. It was, but the price then rallied, before printing new, lower resistance at 0.7370. This is a bearish sign, however we can adjust the support technically to just a few pips lower that it was before, to 0.7334. I think this level will be reached in the coming hours, and how the price reacts there should determine whether a deeper pull-back within the current long-term bullish trend is likely or not. I doubt there will be a strong change in sentiment today on the U.S. Dollar, so I remain bullish above 0.7334.
There is nothing due today concerning the NZD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time.
