  • Short Trade

  • Take off 50% of the position as profit when the trade is $200 in profit by price and leave the remainder of the position to ride.
  • 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 took a bullish bias above $6,805. This worked out well as the price has continued to rise. I’ve adjusted the nearby support level upwards to match a previous inflection point at $6,867.

    After flattening out, Bitcoin has been rising for some days, so there is a good reason to be bullish. However, the short-term action at $7,100 suggests that the price may be making a minor top and getting ready for a deeper retracement. I would, therefore, want to see the price break the high before being bullish today, or alternatively a pull back and strong bullish bounce at the support level of $6,867.
