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
We still have an extremely bullish situation, with the price recently trading in blue sky at new all-time highs, thanks to a huge amount of public interest in investing or speculating in this crypto-currency on the long side. There is a widespread feeling among analysts that this pair is in a dangerous bubble which could burst spectacularly. This may be the case, but that does not mean that traders cannot enjoy the party while it lasts, provided a hard stop loss and low leverage are used.
Technically, we are now seeing a healthy and strong upwards movement resuming after yesterday’s spike down to the $3200.00 area. This took out a key support level, so it is difficult to pinpoint a dip where the pair should be bought before $3000.00. However, the outlook is strongly bullish so buying on short-term dips generally is probably a good strategy to use right now, provided stops and low leverage are used.
Regarding the USD, there will be releases of PPI and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
