  • Place the stop loss 1 pip above the local swing high.

  • Adjust the stop loss to break even once the trade is $50 in profit by price.

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 day’s pivotal point was very likely to be $10,851, and if that level held with a bullish bounce which was strong, I could see the price continuing up to the $12,500 area. I would take a bullish bias in this scenario.

This was a reasonably good call as the price moved up over the day and reached a high at about $12,500. The picture still looks quite bullish with a strong long-term bullish trend and a medium-term bullish move dominating too, although over the short-term the price is retracing. This suggests that looking for a long trade at a bullish bounce at the support of $11,561 will be the smart move, and I would take a bullish bias here in that scenario. If the price gets established below that level it would indicate a deeper bearish retracement is happening.BTCUSDThere is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD. It is a public holiday in the U.S.A.
