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 were seeing a considerably more bearish picture with the price having printed several new lower resistant levels and noted that the price was showing short-term bearish momentum. I was ready take a bearish bias from another rejection of $3,847 if it happens. This was a good call as the price made a high there just slightly under that level, so it was an accurate approach.
The price is now consolidating below the resistance at $3,847. I would like to take a bearish bias below the lows, but it looks like there is too much potential support there as $3,593 is approached. I think the most likely outcome will be for the price to remain between $3,847 and $3,650 or so. The best opportunity is most likely to be another bearish rejection of $3,847 which could be used for a short trade entry – I would take a bearish bias at that point if it were to happen.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
