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, as the price was continuing to make new multi-week high prices. This has paid off well, as the price rose strongly over the day to make a new high just below $9,800 which invalidated the former resistance level at $9,420. The price has flipped an old resistance level at $9,192 to become new higher support, and it seems to have halted a sharp move down in the Asian session. It looks like the price will rise over coming hours. It may not happen today, but a test of the psychologically key $10,000 area looks likely to happen soon. It will be interesting to see how the price will behave there. I maintain my bullish bias.

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm London time.
