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 last Wednesday that we had a consolidation pattern between $57,581 and $52,664. I expected this consolidation to continue and these levels to hold over the short term, so I saw the best approach to trade Bitcoin as playing the range and being ready to trade convincing reversals from either of these boundary levels of the consolidation zone.
This was an OK call, as the range held over the 24 hours following my forecast.
The price broke below that lower range, reaching a new 7-week low well below $50k just a few hours, before making a very strong bullish bounce on solid buying which has pushed the price back up as high as $52,900.
We are seeing short-term bullish momentum, which may carry through to higher Bitcoin prices over the day. It looks quite likely that the price will continue to rise to reach the next resistance level identified at $54,398. I think this level is likely to be today’s pivotal point, but I doubt there will be any new, good opportunities for trade entries here today except a short trade from a strong bearish reversal at that level.
There is nothing of high importance scheduled today concerning the USD.
