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 wrote that I had no directional bias. The technical picture still looks relatively uncertain today, just arguably a little bullish. The best that can be said is that if the support level at $6,563 survives another test soon, the price would be more likely to rise towards the nearby resistance at $6,805. There will probably be better opportunities in more traditional fiat Forex currency pairs today.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time.
