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 recent BTC/USD forecast last Monday, I thought that the round number at $112,000 was going to be pivotal after the bearish spike just touched it.
This was a good call for the day, as the price was never really able to get established below $112,000 so scalpers could have gained a little profit from going long at the bullish turns which set up near this round number.
The technical picture now is more bearish, with the market moving more into a risk-off mode, and Bitcoin not really having been able to benefit from earlier risk-on sentiment. These are bearish signs.
The price action is looking heavy and bearish, and the price is sitting on an area of support which starts at $111,332.
We have already seen a bullish turn just above this level, so scalpers might again rise this up at least a little way.
It will be hard for Bitcoin to make a significant bearish breakdown, because there is a cluster of support levels below $111,332.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding Bitcoin. Concerning the US Dollar, there will be releases of Final GDP ad Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
