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 last Monday that there were reasons to remain bullish: the price is going up and printing higher support levels and has broken decisively above the former resistance at $4,055 and is trading above the high of many days. I took a bullish bias above $4,055 but noted that the price could easily end today lower. The price did spend the London session retracing and then rising again from an area near support but has fallen quite strongly since London closed that day, and we now have a more considerably bearish picture with the price having printed several new lower resistance levels, and the price is currently showing short-term bearish momentum. I would take a bearish bias from another rejection of $3,847 if it happens.
