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 took no directional bias yesterday, but I noted the bearish momentum and was dubious that the support at $6,178 would hold. Although the level at $6,178 has held, the buying here looks weak, and it feels like taking any long trades is just not going to be a good move today. There is strong bearish momentum on all time frames. I will be very happy to take a bearish bias here today below that support at $6,178. If the price does get lower and starts to approach $5,000 that will probably become an important moment for Bitcoin. That won’t happen for a while, if at all, but a break below the $5,000 could scare investors and produce a devastating crash.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of PPI data at 1:30pm London time.
