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

I wrote yesterday that the longer the price stayed below 1.3300 the less bullish the picture would become, but I still saw the odds as with the bulls but probably with little movement. This was a fair call as the price did rise higher but could not stay there. Now I don’t see any resistance as reliable until 1.3332. There is no good trend to exploit and most of the key levels do not look particularly strong, so this pair is probably best avoided for the time being – there are likely to be better opportunities today in the major Forex currency pairs. I have no directional bias here.

There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the CAD. Concerning the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be making a minor speech at 5:45pm London time.
