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/CHF Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the picture now was a little more bullish thanks to the risk recovery I mentioned, plus the new technical factor of a support level emerging at 1.0035. However, the dominant price action looked quite choppy, so I was inclined to avoid trading this pair right now. This was not a great call as the increasing bullishness I saw was a sign that the price was going to move up quite strongly, all the way to 1.0100. However, the price then fell from there and has printed new lower resistance on its way back down to the area from where it began the move, at 1.0066.

I have no directional bias and overall see the movement here as very difficult to predict and quite choppy, with bulls and bears very evenly balanced. For this reason, I would continue to avoid trading this pair for the time being.

There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
