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 I would be more bearish as the flow was downwards, but we may have a bullish double bottom which had formed just above the support level at 0.9848. I thought that rejections of either support or resistance would be likely to produce good trade entry opportunities here, but the fact that Switzerland was on holiday and seemed to drive so much of the Swiss Franc market these days may mean little happened here over the coming hours.

This was a good and accurate call. The situation now is very evenly balanced, with the price making both lower highs and higher lows to consolidate around 0.9900. The price is almost exactly halfway between support and resistance. Rejections of either nearby levels, whether support or resistance, would probably make equally good trades, but may well not happen today at all.There is nothing important due today concerning either the USD or the CHF.
