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
Yet again, the price remains within a narrow consolidation zone. It is quite surprising that the price remains so inactive, but it is a sign that when the move away from this narrow zone eventually occurs, it will be likely to be explosive. The only problem is, we have little idea in which direction it will come. There is probably a slightly greater chance of the big move being up rather than down, as the last key levels which were created were support, and the price is consolidating above a zone of support more than it is doing so below a zone of resistance. However, it is probably going to be wise to stand aside until the price starts to make that move, so I would avoid trading Bitcoin at present.
There is nothing important due today regarding the USD.
