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

Last Thursday I had a bullish bias above 0.7553. The level held for a while then broke down, producing a further fall. It was not effective in providing an entry, but it was effective as a pivotal point that day. The picture was already becoming more bullish last week, but it has become even more strongly so since this week opened some hours ago, due partially to stronger than expected Australian Retail Sales data. The price has really taken off and is up by more than 1% already since the open. The rise has been very strong and there is a lot more room to rise above the next resistance level at 0.7654.

It makes sense to be bullish on this pair today, but there is more major data concerning the Aussie due in the forthcoming Asian session which could move the price substantially and unpredictably.

Concerning the AUD, there will be a release of the RBA Rate Statement and Cash Rate at 5:30am London time. There is nothing due today concerning the USD.
