Top Forex Brokers
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
In my previous EUR/USD analysis about one month ago, I thought that the EUR/USD currency pair was likely to see a breakout to new highs, although maybe not on the day. This was a good and accurate call although, as I said, it did not happen that same day.
We have seen this pair turn bearish over recent days as the US Dollar found a bid again. Monday saw the price bounce just barely above a very key support level at $1.1063. However, that bullish move seems to have run out of steam, and the hourly price chart below clearly show a bearish topping out at the round number of $1.1200, suggesting today’s short-term price movement is likely to be bearish.
There are no key support levels to watch for above $1.1063, so day traders should probably look for short trades. There might be support at about $1.1140 as this has recently been an inflection point.
If the price turns bullish and gets established above $1.1200, day traders will likely do better looking for long trades, although that might be tough as there are two resistance levels not far from there. Short trades below $1.1200 look a better bet.
There is nothing of high importance scheduled today concerning the Euro or the USD.
