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 the picture had become much more bullish than it was a few days ago. I thought it was quite likely that the resistance at $4,055 would hold for the rest of the day, but a break above it would be a very bullish sign. I took a generally bullish bias, but I wanted to see a sizable pull-back before entering any long trade yet. This was a good call, as the price has continued to rise, and it take a deeper pull back the next day before that rise could really happen.
There are reasons to remain bullish: the price is going up and printing higher support levels and has broken decisively above the former resistance at $4,055 and is trading above the high of many days. I take a bullish bias above $4,055 but the price could easily end today lower than it the price at the time of writing. The idea trade set-up would be a quick bounce at $4,055.
There is nothing important due today concerning the USD.
