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 I had a bullish bias, which I was relatively confident about. I was completely wrong, the seeming halt to the sudden downwards movement was false, and the price has continued to move down and break through a couple of support levels, although $8,679 has held so far. The level at $9,192 has probably now become resistance. This unpredictable movement and the general increase in volatility and interest in Bitcoin makes me think that the price is likely to range for a while between levels, so I have no directional bias, and see convincing rejections of any key levels as probable good trades worth taking.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Core Durable Goods Orders at 1:30pm London time.
