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 we had just seen a change of tone with a relatively strong bullish push breaking up past former resistance though so far, the move has been held by the resistance at $3,732 which looked likely to be the day’s crucial pivotal level. If the price could trade above that level for a couple of hours later, I was ready to take a bullish bias as we would then be likely to see further upwards movement, with enough empty space stretching all the way to $3,914. This was a good call, as the price did trade above the level and continued to rise from there, getting as high as $3,950 at one point. The rise over the past few days is relatively strong compared to recent flat action, and there is no resistance until $4,100 so I would take a bullish bias if the price can trade above $3,950 for a couple of hours later today. There are good technical reasons to be taking a bullish bias here.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
