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
Yesterday I took a bullish bias, which was correct for a few hours, until the price made a decisive reversal at a confluence of two trend lines just below $9,000. I now have no directional bias, as the bulls and bears look equally strong over the medium term, although over the short term it looks as if the price will continue to the lower triangle trend line, which is shown in the price chart below as sitting at about $8,000.
There is nothing due today concerning the USD.
