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.
I wrote yesterday that the picture remained bearish with stronger downwards thrusts, and so the odds were slightly in favour of a continued descent down to the next support level at $6,171. I would take a bearish bias today below yesterday’s low price. This was a great call as the price fell by about 10% from below yesterday’s low price. The support at $6,171 initially held but soon broke down.
This is a strong and dramatic push down, with the price reaching a new 1-year low. Although there are signs the move is over, at such lows it would be foolish not to anticipate a more bearish picture. I would therefore take a bearish bias today if the price traded below yesterday’s low price for more than one hour.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 1:30pm London time, and the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be giving a minor speech at 4:30pm.
