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 I saw this pair as stuck in a boring range, with no trend on any time frame. Recent hours have seen the picture become more bullish, with a sudden strong spike pushing the price up above the nearest resistance. The price now seems to be getting support at a new flipped resistance-to-support level at $6,636. I will have a bullish bias today, as long as the price can stay above that level.
