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 noted yesterday that price has just made a new 1-year low and has now fallen by more than 80% since last December. I was happy to take a short bias after a bearish rejection of the resistance level at $4,126 later that day. Unfortunately, the high of the day just missed that price by a very small amount. The picture remains bearish with new lower resistance established at $3,870 although there are also signs of the price being support at about $3,600 w2hich makes the picture very slightly less bearish than it was yesterday. I would take a bearish bias if either of the nearby resistance levels are strongly rejected today.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
