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 price had made a meaningful retracement and had become stuck between firm support at $22,029 and strong resistance at $23,255.
I thought that the long-term picture remained bullish, but that it may be wise to go flat and stand aside and wait to see which broke first, the nearby support or the nearby resistance. However, I was still ready to take a long trade at a bounce from key support.
This was an OK call as my slight bullish bias seems to have been justified, as the price has now seemingly got established above the former resistance level at $23,255 which is now acting as support – this is a bullish sign.
There are no obvious resistance levels above the current price except maybe the all-time high just above $24,000 and the huge major round number and psychological level at $25,000.
I am ready to take a long trade from a bullish bounce at any key support level, or a short trade from an unusually strong bearish reversal which may happen later at $25,000 if it is reached.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the USD
