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 picture remained bearish with new lower resistance established at $3,870 although there were also signs of the price being supported at about $3,600 which made the picture very slightly less bearish than it was the day before. My conditions for taking a bearish bias were not satisfied which was good as the price rose and broke above the trend line shown in the price chart below, as well as the horizontal resistance level at $3,870 which has now probably become support. The price is coming up from new 1-year lows just a couple of days ago, so don’t expect much in the way of a rise, but the short-term action suggests the price is quite likely to rise a little more as long as it holds above the new support level at $3,870.
