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 we were seeing risk appetite returning to the market despite no obvious progress concerning the trade dispute and also rising tension in the Persian Gulf.

I had no confidence in any strong directional movement here, although I thought that a sustained break above 1.0130 would be a bullish sign if it happened.

The picture now is more bullish, but weakly so. There is a good chance that the nearest resistance level will hold today if it is reached, but if the price can get established above 1.0130 that would be a sign of increased bullishness. A long trade from a bounce at 1.0070 also looks like an attractive trade. I have no directional bias today on this currency pair.There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
