    • 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 AnalysisI wrote in my previous BTC technical analysis today almost a week ago that Bitcoin was clearly in a bearish trend but might make a spike up from the support level at $56,880. This did not set up.The bearish trend has continued, with markets mostly in risk-off mode, which is tending to drag Bitcoin down. Although the US Dollar is also weak, that isn’t helping keep the price up much.There will be a release later today of US CPI (inflation) data which is likely to move the market in general and will probably also cause some price movement here.Bitcoin isn’t really in the market’s focus right now, while the Japanese Yen, Gold, Crude Oil, and Stock Markets are.It is hard to say what effect the US CPI data release later today might have. The most useful observation I can make is that the support level at $55,724 looks strong, so if we do get a bullish bounce there, it might be worth entering a long trade before the US CPI release and hoping that a lower-than-expected inflation number sends the price higher along with other risky assets.There is nothing of high importance due today regarding Bitcoin. Concerning the US Dollar, there will be a releases of US CPI data at 1:30pm London time.More By This Author:Weekly Forex Forecast – Sunday, Sept. 8BTC/USD Forex Signal: First Signs Of Support After SelloffGBP/USD Forex Signal: Bearish Consolidation Below $1.3154
