Co to MACD divergence

MACD divergence = price + MACD show conflicting signals. Price makes new extreme (high/low), MACD doesn\'t confirm = momentum weakening = reversal probability.

Bullish vs bearish

„Bullish divergence: price lower low, MACD higher low = reversal up. Bearish divergence: price higher high, MACD lower high = reversal down. Universal patterns."

Setup mechanics

1. Identify divergence: 2 swing points, MACD vs price
2. Check timeframe: 1H+ better than 5-15 min
3. Confluence S/R: divergence at level = top quality
4. Reversal candle: hammer, engulfing confirmation
5. Entry: after candle close, SL beyond extreme

Confluence factors

• S/R level: divergence at key level = +20% WR
• Reversal candle: confirmation pattern
• Multiple timeframe: divergence aligned 1H + 4H
• Volume: declining on extreme = weakening
• RSI divergence: combined two oscillators

Marek case detailed

Common mistakes

1. Trading divergence bez confluence
2. Single divergence (NIE 2 swing points)
3. Counter-trend divergence weak
4. NIE reversal candle wait
5. Small timeframes (5-min divergence noise)

Failed divergence

Setup invalid jeśli:

• Cena breaks support/resistance after divergence
• Reversal candle bullish during bearish setup (lub odwrotnie)
• Volume increases extreme = continuation
• Multi-timeframe disagreement

Wnioski

MACD divergence = momentum weakening signal. Gerald Appel 1979 indicator. Universal pattern.

4 typy: bullish/bearish regular (reversal), bullish/bearish hidden (continuation), exaggerated.

5-step setup: identify → timeframe check → S/R confluence → reversal candle → entry SL beyond extreme.

Confluence factors: S/R level (+20% WR), reversal candle, multi-timeframe, volume, RSI divergence.

Marek GBP/USD case: bullish divergence + S/R + hammer = +120 pip 8h. R:R 1:8.

Common mistakes: bez confluence, single divergence, counter-trend weak, NIE reversal candle, small timeframes.

Failed divergence: cena breaks level, reversal candle wrong direction, volume increases, multi-timeframe disagree.

Konkluzja: MACD divergence top reversal strategy. WR 60% z confluence. Combine z S/R + reversal candles + multi-timeframe.
