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 although there was a long-term bearish trend, I had no short-term directional bias. The picture here has changed over the past few days, with Bitcoin now looking considerably more bullish after breaking up strongly beyond $6,250 where it is now gently selling off into a bullish pennant formation. This has bullish implications, yet I am nervous of the repeated large upper wicks of the pennant, so I think that if the price gets established below $6,268 the bullish pennant should be discounted. If this price area holds, it does look likely that we will see another push up and maybe a test of the resistance at $6,563. I have a weakly bullish bias above $6,268.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time.
