  • 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 despite the drop, I maintained my bullish bias – as there was clearly a bullish structure of higher lows and highs which had remained intact. This was not a good approach, as the price has moved down steadily and quite strongly over the past 24 hours, invalidating former support levels and printing new lower resistance levels. It now looks as if the price is most likely to continue downwards to an area below $10,000 although there may be minor support at about $10,200 which could at least temporarily halt the fall. I have a bearish bias now.

    Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 1:15pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm.
