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.

In my previous EUR/USD analysis about one month ago, I thought that the EUR/USD currency pair was looking likely to rise and I was ready enter a long trade if we had gotten a New York close above $1.1806.

This was a good call as the price did rise strongly that day, but the breakout trade above $1.1806 would only have produced a win of about 50 pips maximum before turning into a loss, which would probably not have been a profitable swing trade if taken.

The technical picture now has become much more interesting after the recent decline from multi-month highs above $1.1850:
  • We see a bullish head and shoulders pattern providing a bottom, with the price making a bullish breakout just before the London session gets underway above the former resistance level at $1.1627.
  • This bullishness comes after the price broke out of a bearish descending price channel, and I've drawn the trend lines to show that within the price chart below.
  • The US Dollar Index remains below a very key resistance level at 98.60.

Technically, the picture looks bullish.

EURUSD Chart by TradingView

Fundamental and sentiment analysis support the bullish mood here: its not so much that there is anything going on with the Euro, but the US Dollar is weaker after Fed Chair Jerome Powell made a dovish tilt in his public comments yesterday. There is now a nearly unanimous expectation of two further rate cuts from the Fed, 0.25% at each of the next two meetings. This is helping weaken the US Dollar.

I suggest day traders look for long trades as long as the price holds up above $1.1627 and shows bullish price action over the course of today.

There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either the Euro or the USD.
