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 had a bearish bias yesterday, which has worked out well as the price has fallen. I noted that the NZD was not looking especially bearish, but now it is, with the price here falling harder and more constantly than any other currency against a strong U.S. Dollar. At the time of writing, the price is reaching a cluster of long-term support levels between 0.6884 and 0.6859, which is likely to be a sever test for bears. I am not sure what will happen next, but I would be very bearish if the price is able to get established below 0.6850. The New Zealand GDP data release due later could prove to be crucial in determining what happens next.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time. Concerning the NZD, there will be a release of GDP data at 11:45pm.
