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.

BITCOIN/USD Analysis

After peaking just below the psychologically key $5000 level at the end of last week, and making new all-time high prices in the process, Bitcoin is now in its strongest bearish retracement for a while. It is currently finding support at $4000.00 and this area has an excellent chance of holding for three reasons: there is a technical support level at $3974.75, there is a big round number at $4000.00, and this price area makes a 20% drop from its high just below $5000 which was reached only a few days ago. A drop greater than 20% traditionally signifies a bear market, so there should be buyers here, suggesting there is an opportunity to go long. However, should the price break below $3874.75, that would be a bearish sign, suggesting the pullback will last for a while longer, and probably continue down to reach the next area of key support at $3600.00 at least.
