Long Trade Ideas
Go long after a bullish price action reversal on the H1 timeframe following the next touch of $57,974, $56,753, or $55,463. Put the stop loss $100 below the local swing low. Move the stop loss to break even once the trade is $100 in profit by price. Take off 50% of the position as profit when the trade is $100 in profit by price and leave the remainder of the position to run.
Short Trade Ideas
Go short after a bearish price action reversal on the H1 timeframe following the next touch of $59,401, $60,445, or $62,349. Put the stop loss $100 above the local swing high. Move the stop loss to break even once the trade is $100 in profit by price. Take off 50% of the position as profit when the trade is $100 in profit by price and leave the remainder of the position to run.
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.

I wrote in my previous
BTC analysis
yesterday that Bitcoin was looking bullish above the nearest support level at $60,445, and so I was seeking to enter a new long trade if we saw a bullish bounce when that level is first touched.
This was not a useful call as the price just plunged easily through this level as price action turned more bearish.
The technical picture is a bit more bearish today than it was yesterday, and it threatens to turn more bearish still as the price is now sitting heavily on the support level at $57.974. This looks likely to be today's pivotal point. So it could be used as a good trade entry signal:
If the level holds and we get a supportive bullish candlestick rejecting the support, a cautious long trade could be opened. If we get two consecutive lower hourly closes below that level, and the second one is a bearish candlestick, a short trade could be opened, targeting the next support level at $56,753.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding Bitcoin. Concerning the US Dollar, there will be releases of Retail Sales and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
