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 had become more bullish, with the price building higher support levels. However, there was no long-term trend, and the price was approaching parity and a few resistance levels nearby which were very likely to be enough to halt the advance.

This was a good call, and although the price held up above support and advanced, it was indeed held down (so far) by the parity level.

The support levels have had to be adjusted slightly, but the technical picture remains the same.

I would avoid trading this pair as it is behaving strangely out of sync with the general market environment.There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
