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 we now had a more bullish technical picture, especially because the long-term bearish trend line had been broken to the upside. I expected that some kind of consolidation around $3,500 was probably going to be the most likely outlook over the short-term. I had no directional bias yesterday and preferred to sit on the side. I was correct to see the picture as more bullish, but I underestimated the bullishness. The picture is more bullish still, with another strong move and a break above former resistance. We now see the price holding up quite firmly and new higher support levels. I would take a bullish bias here today if we get a retracement back down to about $3,600 followed by a strong bullish bounce.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the FOMC Economic Projections, Statement, and Federal Funds Rate at 7pm London time followed by the usual press conference half an hour later.
