Yesterday’s signals produced a profitable long trade from the bullish breakout, from which it may well be wise to exit now as the price is making a bearish retracement.

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 I thought it made sense to look for a long trade, which might be found after a deep retracement to $12,288 or alternatively after a breakout to a new high above $13,368. I was happy to enter a long trade if we had gotten two consecutive hourly closes above $13,368 which we did – this was a good call as it produced about $300 of profit.
Bitcoin is interesting right now as the price is breaking to new long-term highs, giving bulls a statistical edge.
I remain bullish on Bitcoin and I see a long trade from a bullish bounce at the new higher support level at $13,153 as a great potential new long trade opportunity.
It is notable, and a very bullish sign for Bitcoin, that it is rising in value when most other risky assets are falling.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
