My previous BTC/USD signal last Thursday was not triggered, as there was no bullish price action when the price first reached the nearest support level.

Top Forex Brokers
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 in my previous BTC/USD forecast on 27th February that Bitcoin was making a strong bullish move, but as I was generally bearish, I was conflicted as I did not see the price as likely to make a good bearish setup that day.
This was not a good call, as the price made a bearish turn after printing a clear lower resistance level and fell to a fresh multi-month low below the round number at $80,000.
The next day, the price did make a strong bullish reversal from the area below $80,000. The price consolidated for a while and was then given another boost by President Trump’s announcement of the creation of a strategic crypto reserve, which will presumably see the US government purchase Bitcoin, potentially creating demand which should make the price more bullish.
Despite this apparent tailwind, I am pessimistic over Bitcoin’s bullish prospects. This is because Bitcoin basically rises and falls in accordance with risk-on sentiment, and sentiment these days is mostly risk-off.
Bitcoin might go on to make a new record high some time from now, but I strongly doubt this will happen any time soon, strategic reserve or not.
I would be happy to take a short trade from a bearish reversal which might set up later at the resistance level of $95,038.
The price looks as if it is going to break below the support level at $91,250, which would be a bearish sign, and indicate a further fall to the $88,000 would be likely.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding either Bitcoin or the US Dollar.
