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 recovery in risk sentiment suggested the price was going to move up as the CHF is more of a safe haven than the USD, yet the real action in the day’s market was likely to be elsewhere. I thought that the best trade opportunity was quite likely to be scalping short off the resistance level of 1.0053 if it was reached later. I was right about the direction but wrong about scalping off 1.0053 as the level did not hold at all.

The picture now is 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 looks quite choppy, so I am inclined to avoid trading this pair right now. I see rejections as possible of any key level shown in the chart below, whether long or short.There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
