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 last Thursday that it looked like the area around $3,925 had a confluence of resistance and so was likely to be today’s pivotal level. I remained broadly bearish. My broad bias was correct, but the price never reached $3,925. The price has continued to fall, and the long-term bearish trend line has held and kept the price down. Over the weekend the price made a new 1-year low as it reached very close to $3,200.
The picture still looks bearish as long as the descending trend line holds, and this is now confluent with horizontal resistance at $3,593 which looks like a very attractive level at which to find a short trade entry. There is some support below, but it looks rather weak and unreliable. I would take a bearish bias later if the price tests and reverses at $3,593.
There is nothing important due today concerning the USD.
