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 saw the picture as still looking broadly bearish. I took a bearish bias below $6,446 and above $6,353. This wasn’t a great call, but it wasn’t bad either as the price was not able to get much below $6,446 and eventually made a much stronger bullish move above that level. The price chart below shows that Bitcoin is looking very indecisive and hard to predict, as it arrives near the point of a long-term consolidating triangle formation. I think the best that can be said is that the situation would become bullish above $6,679 and bearish below $6,353.
There is nothing important due today concerning the USD.
