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.
USD/CAD Analysis
The technical situation changed significantly last Friday on the back of strong U.S. earnings data, with the price taking off and breaking up past the medium-term bearish trend line shown in the chart below. The strong bullish movement also broke key resistance at 1.2400, and this area now looks to have become flipped to become probable support. The price looks bearish over the long-term, yet looks most likely to continue its rise over the short term. The zone around 1.2400 looks likely to act as support.
There is nothing important due today regarding the CAD. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time.
