Yesterday’s signals produced a long trade from a bullish bounce at $8,800 which would still be open.

  • 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 be happier taking a long trade from a bullish bounce at $8,800 than a short trade from a bearish bounce at $9,420. The only thing that has happened over the past 24 hours, and the action here has been minor compared to the Forex market, is that this support at $8,800 was tested and held. The price is currently moving up, but the action looks a little weak, and the price might well retest $8,800. It seems as if the levels are valuable and will tend to hold the price during such relatively weak price action. I have no directional bias, maybe a very small bullish bias only.
