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 wrote yesterday that as the NZD was acting more bullishly than the AUD which is always a relatively bullish sign, so bears needed to be a little cautious here and wait for the right moment. If the price broke convincingly above 0.6625 I was ready to take a short-term bullish bias. In fact, the price never reached that level, and continued to fall further, reaching a new 2.5-year low price.

There is a strong long-term bearish trend that still has a great deal of momentum, so I remain bearish provided the price remains below 0.6567. The New Zealand Dollar is one of the weakest major currencies, while the U.S Dollar continues to strengthen, so there is every reason to keep a bearish bias here apart from the short-term bullish movement.

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time and Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm. There is nothing important due today concerning the NZD.
