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 in my previous BTC/USD analysis on 28th September that if anything, I suspected an upwards price movement beyond the current range is suggested as more likely than a downwards one from the recent price action.
This was a good call.
The technical picture now has changed a bit – the price has risen over the past couple of weeks, but over recent days has traded within a narrowing, consolidating triangle pattern.
There is a resistance level within this triangle at $27,750 which looks quite likely to hold if reached, so it will probably be today’s pivotal point.
Traders might look to go short there at a bearish reversal, or long if there are two consecutive hourly closes above it.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the US Dollar.
