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

I wrote in my previous BTC/USD analysis just over one week ago that the technical picture was suggesting the $50k area would remain pivotal and may give an opportunity for a speculative short, or alternatively a long trade once we get a daily close firmly above the resistance level at $50,528.

This would have produced a long trade at the end of the day, as the daily close was above that level, and such a trade would have been a little profitable.

The technical picture has not changed since my last forecast – the wide consolidation between $53,000 and $50,600 simply continues. However, the odds do seem to be with the bulls as the price is clearly near a long-term high within a valid long-term bullish trend.

I see a long trade from a bullish bounce between $50,600 and $50,000 as the best opportunity which might set up today. Alternatively, a long trade following a daily close today above $53,201 could also be an interesting entry.

Regarding the US Dollar, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time, followed by Flash Manufacturing & Services PMI at 2:45pm.
