MACD Divergence Action (H1)

A divergence‑first method on the H1 chart using MACD to spot fading momentum and time rotations with structure. We only act when divergence aligns with levels and candle confirmation.

Tools & settings

• MACD(12,26,9) classic; plot histogram + signal.
• Key levels (daily/weekly S/R) and round numbers.
• Optional: ATR(14, H1) for stop sizing; session markers.

Idea

Price makes a new extreme while MACD fails to confirm (higher high vs lower MACD peak for bearish; lower low vs higher MACD trough for bullish). Wait for a clear reaction back through the trigger level.

Bullish setup (regular + hidden)

1. Regular: price makes a lower low but MACD prints a higher trough.
2. Hidden: HL in price with LL on MACD during an uptrend pullback. Trigger: a bullish close through a micro‑level or the fractal high near the signal candle.

Bearish setup (regular + hidden)

1. Regular: price prints a higher high but MACD a lower peak.
2. Hidden: LH in price with HH on MACD in a downtrend pullback. Trigger: a bearish confirm close back below the trigger level.
