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 picture had become more bearish, but we may be seeing a double bottom form at $7,463. Therefore, I was ready to take a bullish bias later if the price could trade above $7,800 for a couple of hours consecutively. This is what happened, with a strong upwards push flipping the level at $7,793 from resistance to new higher probable support, and although the price is currently a little below where the long trade entry would have been made, there is another higher support level we can draw in the price chart at $7,923 and at the time of writing the price is continuing to hold above that too. These are bullish signs, yet the fact that the price has made such a deep retracement from its recent multi-month high also suggests that bulls may struggle to drive the price much higher over the short-term. So overall, I see the picture as very weakly bullish, and I will get more bullish as the price gets established above each subsequent higher resistance level shown in the price chart below.There is nothing important due today concerning the USD.
