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 I had a bullish bias. This has paid off well, as the price has strongly broken out above the resistance which I noted at the round number of $9,000. This level has probably flipped to become new support. The action still looks quite bullish and I maintain my bullish bias as the price goes on to make new multi-week high prices.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence at 3pm London time.
