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/JPY Analysis

The long-term trend is bearish, and although this pair retraces from buying again and again, it sooner or later tends to make lower lows. The chart below shows a long-term bearish channel remains intact, with the upper trend line of the channel now just under 110.50. If the price cannot break up above 110.72, it is likely to continue to fall, although the market may run out of steam after today’s New York session as focus turns to the FOMC release tomorrow.

I maintain a bearish bias.
