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.
BTC/USD Analysis
I wrote last Thursday that I would be bullish above $7,100 or at a bullish bounce at $6,867. Neither outcome took place that day. The bullish medium-term trend has continued however, quite steadily, as the price continues to establish higher support levels and break above resistance. Today, it looks as if we are seeing a short-term topping out at $7,300 which looks likely to push the price down to the support level at $7,128. This looks likely to be good support, so a long trade entry there following a bullish bounce is the potential trade to watch for today. I would have a bullish bias above $7,300 or at a bounce at $7,128.
