My previous BTC/USD signal on 8th June was not triggered as none of the key support or resistance levels were reached that day.

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 8th June that the price remained falling within the wide descending price channel, with the support level at $26,003 looking likely to be the pivotal point of the day.
This was a good call in a sense, as the price remained above that support level.
The technical picture has not changed over the long or medium terms – the price is still showing long-term bearishness and slowly descending within the wide bearish price channel which can be seen within the price chart below.
However, there is a new technical feature that will probably be influential – a narrowing triangle chart pattern which has formed well within the price channel to contain the current price.
The descending upper line of the triangle looks likely to be strong as it has three resistance levels near it, just above it. On the other hand, the price keeps bouncing along near the lower trend line of the triangle which is much flatter, and which looks weaker.
The triangle looks likely to see a breakdown, and this is also telegraphed by the dominant bearish price channel.
Therefore, I think if we get two consecutive hourly closes later below the lower trend line of the triangle at about $25,600, we can expect the price will continue to move down to the next support level at $24,600.
Concerning the US Dollar there will be a release of US PPI data at 1:30 pm London time, followed by the Federal Funds Rate, Rate Statement, and Economic Projections by the Fed at 7 pm.
