  • Short entry after a bearish price action reversal on the H1 time frame following the next touch of $6,636 or $6,805.
  • Put the stop loss 1 pip above the local swing high.

  • Remove 50% of the position as profit when the trade is $200 in profit by price and leave the remainder of the position to run.
  • 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 would have a bullish bias above $6,636. The price initially seemed to respect this support level but broke down during the London session and then fell with some strength. My bullish bias was incorrect, but I was right in seeing $6,636 as a pivotal level for the day.

    The price has now returned to trade comfortably well within its prevalent range of the previous week or so. I see Bitcoin as back to a dull, ranging situation, with no real long-term trend or trend on any time frame. It is amazing how in the space of little more than 6 months Bitcoin has moved from wild price movements to behaving like a typically dull Forex currency pair in August.
