My previous BTC/USD signal on 24th June was not triggered as there was no bullish price action at either of the support levels when they were first reached.

  • 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/USD forecast three days ago that Bitcoin had been moving lower within a medium-term bearish trend in an orderly way within a symmetrical price channel.I thought it made sense to look for new short trades.This was an excellent call as the price fell heavily over the day, reaching as low as $58,500 before rebounding at the end of the day.The price then ran into a new resistance level at $62,245 which has sent the price lower again. The medium-term bearish trend continues, and the bearish price channel remains intact.These are bearish signs, given a tailwind by the renewed strength in the US Dollar. Therefore, I only wish to look for short trades here.Given the bouncy price action, I think trading bearish reversals from failed tests of resistance levels is the best entry method with which to open new short trades.The resistance level at $62,245 looks especially attractive.Having said that, it may be that if the price just breaks down convincingly below the big round number at $60,000 which is somewhat confluent with the support level at $61,180, we will then see the price fall again to the $58,500 area at least.Concerning the US Dollar, there will be releases of Final GDP and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time, followed by Pending Home Sales at 3pm. There is nothing due regarding Bitcoin.More By This Author:AUD/USD Forex Signal: Bullish Momentum After Inflation Surprise
