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 last Thursday that the problem with trading the Swiss Franc was that the SNB were giving their quarterly policy statement and rate and this could cause very unpredictable movement. However. if the SNB weaken the Franc, in line with the short-term bullish trend, a long trade could be a profitable entry.

Therefore, I was only long trades above 0.9957. This was enough to keep out of trouble as the price action never really broke above that area of resistance over the day.

The picture now is more bullish, with the price building higher support levels. However, there is no long-term trend, and the price is approaching parity and a few resistance levels nearby which are very likely to be enough to halt the advance.

Due to the overall choppy picture, I would tend to stand aside from trading this currency pair today.There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
