BTC/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that I a bearish bias below $6,620 but it looked increasingly likely that this support level would hold for a while. I was correct in anticipating that this level would have a pivotal presence, being strong enough to be felt without even being touched. The price is now consolidating and threatening to make some bullish movement. I would be more comfortable being long following a bullish bounce from this level which might happen today, but I would also still take a bearish bias were the price to get established below that level.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CPI data at 1:30pm London time.
