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
Last Thursday I took a bearish bias and pointed towards an opportunity to go short from a resistance level which ultimately held convincingly, so it was a good forecast over the short term. The situation has subsequently become more bullish, with the resistant area becoming flipped to support at $6,900 and the break of the bearish trend line (shown in the price chart below). I would now take a bullish bias above $6,900 until $7,250 is reached. A break above that level would be a sign of increasing bullishness as it is a key psychological level. Profit targets on longs are probably best being relatively conservative as there is a long-term bearish trend.
There is nothing due regarding the USD.
