    • 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 we are seeing a real medium-term bullish trend which was continuing, but I felt a little cautious as the volatility and momentum seem to be shrinking which suggest a deeper bearish retracement is becoming more likely. The second half of that sentence was prophetic as we have seen a very sharp drop in Bitcoin and all the major cryptocurrencies as Goldman Sachs have announced they are abandoning their plans to start a crypto trading desk. This was the largest short-term movement we have seen in Bitcoin for months after a long period of declining volatility. It will be interesting to see now whether the volatility remains high or settles down again. I suspect that it will be a one-off event and the price will settle as it was a serious, massive breakdown of a bullish trend which ran out of momentum. For this reason, I would prefer to take a short trade from the nearest resistance rather than a long trade from the nearest support.
