My previous BTC/USD signal on 20th October was not triggered, although the next major bullish bounce just at the start of the following day’s London session happened at my support level of $107,461.

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
In my last BTC/USD forecast exactly one week ago, I thought that the best approach here over the coming days would be to try to trade Bitcoin long, but I think we will need to see the price make a bearish retracement and bounce off a support level like $109,730 first.
This was a good call, although the support that finally made a medium-term low was well below $109,730 at $107,461 which was confluent with the major quarter-number at $107,500.
We have seen strong gains by many stock markets and other risky assets such as the Australian Dollar in recent hours, since US Treasury Secretary Bessent announced that a trade deal with China has effectively been agreed in outline. Bitcoin is no exception to this and has risen firmly to regain levels not seen in about two weeks.
The problem for bulls despite the short-term bullish momentum is that the long-term structure still looks bearish, with the resistance level at $116,016 forming a potential final shoulder of a bearish head and shoulders pattern.
The price has just started retreating from $116,016 and I think there could be a good but short-term short trade now from the seeming rejection of that level. Yet I think bears will get no further than the support level confluent with $114,000 which could give a short-term long trade later if it holds.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either Bitcoin or the US Dollar.
