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.

EUR/USD Analysis

I wrote last Thursday about how the situation was becoming less clear, and that a move up by the price was becoming more likely. We have now seen such an upwards push, with at least a temporary end to U.S. Dollar strength. The Euro is relatively strong, and the higher daily closes and break above the bearish trend line are significant. Having said that, the long-term trend is mixed, so it is not possible to place a great deal of confidence in the bullish move continuing, although there are no key resistance levels until 1.2060 so the line of least resistance does suggest a continuing rise. The flow is certainly bullish, and the Euro is likely to remain relatively strong today.EURUSD
