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 the price was really just going sideways above $10,000. There is buying there, but no sign that the price is going to make any significant new highs above $11,023.
As long as this situation continued, I thought that buying at support levels just above $10,000 or even lower was likely to be the best approach. Selling at $11,023 could also be a good though shorter-term trade.
My analysis has remained accurate, the price has risen somewhat but still shows no real bullish momentum. In fact, we have seen a new lower resistance print at about $10,800.
I still see more potential on the long side as long as the price remains above $10,000 so it is possible to buy following a bounce at any of the identified support levels with the odds in your favor. However, a better approach is likely to be waiting until after we get a bullish breakout above the key resistance level at $11,023. This will generate a lot of speculative interest in Bitcoin if it happens.
I will take a long trade here in Bitcoin if get two consecutive hourly closes above $11,023.
Regarding the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be giving a minor speech at 3:40 pm London time.
