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 the technical picture had become more bullish, due to the ascending trend line connecting the recent lows. I saw a break above $13,682 would be a mildly bullish sign and this was not a bad call as we did get this bullish break, and the price has been mostly higher over the past day.
The ascending trend line continues to hold and in fact has not even been touched. The former resistance at $13,682 has been invalidated.
The outlook looks somewhat bullish still despite the U.S. presidential election uncertainty, and again, a bullish break above $14,058 would be a further bullish sign.
I will again take a long trade entry from a bullish bounce at the trend line shown in the price chart below.
Regarding the USD, counting and result releases are underway in the U.S. presidential election, and there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 1:15pm London time followed by ISM Services PMI data at 3pm.
