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 repeated yesterday that the longer the price remains within this range (which it has been trading within over the past 10 days), the stronger the eventual volatility breakout is likely to be when it finally does come, but until that happens, it would probably be wise to stand aside. This continues to be a good call, as the price just went sideways for another day. I maintain this approach, but it might be that a simple touch of the support level at $6,353, if it happened, could trigger an important move in the price, so a long trade from a good bullish bounce there might be an interesting opportunity. I would take a long bias if this set-up occurred later.
