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.
I wrote yesterday that there was every reason to stay bullish as the price keeps on moving up, erasing resistance, and forming higher support. The further above the key psychological level of $7,500 the price gets, the more bullish I will be over the short-term. This worked out well, as the price continues to rise fairly strongly, and continues flipping resistance levels to become new higher support. I am still bullish, but I do note that the price is now approaching much tighter clusters of resistance levels as it gets close to $8,000 and this may well slow down the advance. In any case, it looks like a good buy at the nearest support. Be extremely careful and conservative in making any short trade here.
