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.
AUD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that it looked very likely that the price would fall further, and it did, so my bearish bias worked out well. However, there has been a bullish development, with the two support levels marked in blue in the price chart below holding strongly, with an hourly pin candle which rejected them both very precisely. The price is struggling to rise but recent action is certainly slightly bullish, even though the Australian inflation data which was released a few hours ago was slightly lower than expected. I think the price will not fall much further over the course of today but is instead most likely to consolidate above the support with a slightly bullish bias. The long trade off the support is a “long shot”, it would probably be best to make this a very small position and shoot for a high target as it seems likely to be a “long tail” trade
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence at 3pm London time. It is a public holiday in Australia.
