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 Bitcoin was looking more bullish after failing to break down below the key support area centred on $4000.00. However, after just missing the key resistance level of $4380.89, the price fell sharply, and is not only trading below $4000.00 but seems also to be eroding the support level at $3974.75. However, we are getting some bullish price action now, so it might be that this price area will hold. Yet the situation is more bearish, and if the price cannot rise soon, it looks set to fall strongly to at least $3600.00 and possibly even lower.

It is starting to look more certain that Bitcoin is in a clear bear market.BTCUSD
