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 yesterday that technical picture here was now considerably more bearish, with the price selling from new lower resistance which has formed at $6,289 and there was a case for seeing the long-term bearish trend reassert itself.
I see reversals in either direction at any key levels nearby as potentially good trade setups. I thought that the price was most likely to move downwards over the day. This wasn’t a bad call as although the price has traded sideways, the picture still looks bearish as the new lower resistance is clearly holding and impacting the price.
