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 the bulls and bears seemed to be evenly balanced. This was a reasonably good call as the price went sideways over the rest of that day within a narrow price band. Recent hours have seen a change of tone with a relatively strong bullish push breaking up past former resistance though so far, the move has been held by the resistance at $3,732 which looks likely to be today's crucial pivotal level. If the price can trade above that level for a couple of hours later today, I would take a bullish bias as we would then be likely to see further upwards movement, with enough empty space stretching all the way to $3,914.
Concerning the USD, it is a public holiday in the U.S.A.
