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 there was little change to the evenly balanced picture, maybe the picture had become slightly more bullish as higher swing lows were being made. In fact, the price has made a bearish turn and printed two new lower levels of resistance. The USD is also generally strong. For these reasons, I would take a bearish bias below the $3,340 today.

Regarding the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be making a minor speech at Midnight London time.
