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 the NZD here looked more bullish than the AUD, which was a bullish sign for this pair, and the overcoming of 0.6500 might be a technically significant development. I still took no directional bias. I was correct to note the bullishness of the NZD as the pair has continued to rise, and it is behaving bullishly technically, with former resistance levels flipping quite cleanly to become new higher support.
The price looks a little likely to rise today, as it is already bouncing off new higher support, with another new support level close by underneath that one. The NZD is also more bullish than its sister currency the AUD, which is another factor making me at least weakly bullish here today.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the NZD or the USD.
