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

Bitcoin is looking more bearish still, as it continues to gradually sink and maintain a price below the technically key $4000.00 area. New trend lines can be drawn, as shown in the chart below, it is clear anyway that the price is established within a bearish channel since it made its all-time high price close to $5000.00 about 2 weeks ago. The next tests are the $3600.00 level or the $4000.00 area. If the $3600.00 support breaks down, the price could fall very strongly and sharply. Conversely, if the price can recover and get established above $4000.00, it would be a very encouraging sign for bulls.

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

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CPI and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
