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 in my previous forecast that the aud/usd currency pair was bearish below $0.6918 but seemed unlikely to fall much further that day and that if $0.6845 was reached, it would probably hold the price up, at least for a while.
This was a good call as $0.6918 did act as a pivot point, holdingthe price down as resistance until bulls broke above the level which then triggered a more decisive upwards move. As I had suspected, the price did not even reach the key support level at $0.6845.
The technical picture now is much more bullish, and this is caused by two major factors:
Australian CPI data released earlier today showed a surprise increase to the highest annualized rate seen in 32 years , boosting the prospect of more and stronger rate hikes, which in turn makes the AUD more attractive.
The persistent, long-term bearish trend in the US Dollar , which has slowed in momentum but is still happening.
These factors combine to make this currency pair strongly bullish .
It is not likely that there will be any news later today that would reverse this sentiment and trend, so the directional movement upwards is likely to continue over the day , although maybe with some minor retracements.
For these reasons, I see long trades from bounces at the support levels below at $0.7085 or (especially) $0.7063 as very attractive .
There is nothing of high importance scheduled today regarding either the AUD or the USD.
