My previous BTC/USD signal on 24th December might have produced a losing long trade from the bearish rejection of the resistance level at $87,947.

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 last Christmas Eve, I thought we were likely to see choppy trading, with a bearish reversal at $90,184 or a bullish reversal at $85,390 being the only trades worth looking at if they set up.

I was correct about choppy trading, or at least trading within a narrow range, with neither of those levels reached over the day.

The technical picture has become more bullish, with the price rising in quite an orderly way over the past 5 days. Other risky assets are also seeing a bit of a bid, so it makes sense that Bitcoin is rising right now, but it also seems to have put in quite a strong bottom, likely attracting long-term buys the closer it gets to $80,000.

I think the support at $91,589 looks like it is clearly going to be today’s pivotal point – bulls have a lot of room to rise from here, as there are no resistance levels below $95,000. So, a retracement to that level and an immediate bullish bounce could produce a good long trade entry.
