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 last Thursday that I had no bias as I was expecting a bullish pull back to $7,825 and then a resumption of the long-term downwards trend, so I did not want to take any risks. My caution was excessive, as the bearish trend has continued strongly, breaking down below the cluster of support levels around the key psychological level of $7,500. Although the price has just found some support at a key inflective level at $7,162 I do not look to go long there as the bearish trend on all time frames is too strong. I have a bearish bias below $7,418.

There is nothing due today regarding the USD. It is a public holiday in the U.S.A.
