BTC/USD Analysis
I wrote last Tuesday that I would take a bearish bias today if we get two consecutive hourly closes below $7,000 and the price then breaks to a new low for the day, at least as far as $6,441.
This never happened but using $7,000 as a pivotal point was enough to avoid taking a losing short trade into the bullish reversal.
The technical picture is more bullish now as we have had a stronger bullish impulsive move that has pushed the price back up above $7,500. However, the price really needs to get established above $8,000 before I will be confident that we are probably seeing a serious trend change.
Either short or long trades from rejections of key levels are likely to work out OK but right now the bulls do have a small edge so longs from bounces at support will probably be better. It will probably be wise to take profits relatively conservatively. 
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
