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.

USD/CAD Analysis

This pair has recovered a little in recent days from its medium-term downwards trend, rising and breaking up past its first nearest bearish trend line. There is a new, very clear “flipped” level of resistance to support at 1.3444, which is a bullish sign. This should be an excellent level and good for at least a few pips if hit again. However, there is no strong trend here, and the price is highly likely to go nowhere today, so any opportunities in the Forex market today will almost certainly be in other currency pairs.

There is no long-term trend in this pair.
