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 resistance level at 0.6873 had held over the past few hours and may be printing a bearish double top formation. If the price could advance again and trade above that level for a couple of hours it would be a bullish sign, with the next resistance level at 0.6902 being very significant as a long-term high.
The price did not advance but is still holding up as party of a long-term bullish consolidation pattern and is close to some long-term highs. A sustained break above 0.6900 would be a very bullish sign signalling the probability of an extended rise higher. I am definitely more comfortable looking for long trades than short trades over the near term here.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the NZD or the USD.
