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

After five bullish sessions for the pair, gains stabilized around $6840 and then the pair moved to the downside and settled around the $6680 area. The price rebound still needs a stronger stimulus, so the pair can make stronger gains. So far, my technical outlook for the pair is bearish and that it could retest the $6000 level and even below it, which will confirm the strength of this bearish. I expect the price to rebound to the upside only if the pair reaches $7500 or $8200 levels.
