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 Thursday that as the price had made a bearish turn and printed two new lower levels of resistance, and as the USD was also generally strong, I would take a bearish bias below the $3,340 level. Happily, this was a really good call as the price never got below that level, and has refused to fall, although the nearby resistance at $3,379 is still respected.

I am not particularly bearish, but the odds do seem to be with the bears, so a strong reversal at a rejection of $3,379 would be a bearish sign that lower prices are about to happen, if it sets up.BTCUSDThere is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
