BTC/USD Forex Signal - 19 July 2018

Yesterday’s signals could have produced a long trade from the inside candle bullish rejection of the support level identified at $7,266. The trade would still be open but be at a slight floating loss as at the time of writing. It is probably still slightly more likely to become a winner than a loser.

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 the action had cooled off, but there was every reason to be bullish, and to see these recent strong upwards movements as significant. The support level at $7,266 has held, which is a bullish sign, but if the price does not make another upwards thrust within the next day or so I would start getting nervous. Although a break below that support and a sharp move down is technical possible, I still see the support as likely to hold and produce another rise, so I am bullish above $7,266.BTCUSD

There is nothing important due today concerning the USD.
