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 the level at $7,813 which was now resistance looked very strong and pivotal, so a short trade from a bearish reversal seems to be the most likely good opportunity to watch for today. If the price could get established above that level, it would be a bullish sign and I would take a bullish bias. The price never reached that level, and the price has fallen steadily. We see short and medium-term bearish trends, and if we zoom out, an argument can be made that Bitcoin is still in a long-term downwards trend as well. I take a bearish bias today between $7,150 and $6,805.

There is nothing important due today concerning the USD.
