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 if the price could trade above $3,859 for a couple of hours and show some bullish momentum there, I would take a cautiously bullish bias. If the price settled above $4,000 that would be a very bullish sign. I thought that the pivotal level was likely to be $3,859 but a move down from there was unlikely.

I was perhaps slightly correct, as the price has mostly risen after finally getting to an area above $3,859, but this bullish move is weak and there is selling every time the price approaches the $3,900. However, we do have new higher support at $3,816 which looks relatively likely to be today’s pivotal level. If we get a bullish bounce there later, I would take a bullish bias.

There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
