MACD Divergence Labels for Potential Price Reversals

Summary

This BTC futures strategy marks potential reversal areas using MACD line and signal-line crosses alongside comparisons with earlier price and MACD values. A bullish signal occurs when price is lower than at the prior cross while the MACD line is higher, coinciding with an upward MACD cross. A bearish signal uses the converse pattern: a higher price, a lower MACD line, and a downward cross. The strategy labels these areas and enters long or short positions accordingly.

The source uses standard MACD settings and includes alerts on bar close. It offers a rules-based way to identify price-momentum divergence, but the document provides no explanatory analysis, exit rules, stop levels, or performance results. The backtest configuration spans roughly one year of four-hour BTC/USDT futures bars; it does not establish that the reversal signals are predictive or profitable. Users should also account for the possibility that an early reversal indication may precede continued movement in the original direction.

Key ideas

• The strategy combines MACD crosses with price and MACD comparisons to identify possible divergence.
• A bullish label and long entry require lower price, higher MACD, and an upward cross.
• A bearish label and short entry require higher price, lower MACD, and a downward cross.
• The source includes alerts but does not define explicit exits or report backtest performance.
