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 last Thursday that Bitcoin was back to a dull, ranging situation, with no real long-term trend or trend on any time frame. While there have still not been any very strong movements, there is definitely a move towards a more bullish picture and a slow, medium-term bullish trend. For this reason, I take a weakly bullish bias today above the support level at $6,569. I would be strongly bullish if the price can get established above the resistance level at $6,805 which looks like being the key pivotal level for today. Above that resistance, the price has room to rise significantly higher.
There is nothing important due today regarding the USD.
