Multi-Timeframe Volume Profile and Divergence StrategyObjective:
To combine multi-timeframe analysis, volume profile insights, and divergence patterns for identifying high-probability trades.
1. Strategy Components
A. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Use three timeframes for analysis:
Higher timeframe (HTF): To identify the overall trend (e.g., Weekly/4H).
Intermediate timeframe (ITF): For spotting critical support/resistance zones (e.g., Daily/1H).
Lower timeframe (LTF): For precise entry and exit signals (e.g., 15M/5M).
B. Volume Profile:
Incorporate Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR):
Identify key areas: Point of Control (POC), High Volume Nodes (HVN), and Low Volume Nodes (LVN).
Use these levels as dynamic support and resistance.
C. Divergence Patterns:
Look for Bullish Divergence and Bearish Divergence on oscillators like:
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
MACD
Stochastic RSI
Combine divergences with price action near significant volume levels.
D. Additional Tools:
200 EMA (Exponential Moving Average): For trend direction.
ATR (Average True Range): For stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Fibonacci Retracement: For confluence with volume profile levels.
2. Trading Plan
Step 1: Higher Timeframe Trend Identification
Use the HTF to establish whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or range.
Mark key swing highs, lows, and supply/demand zones.
Step 2: Intermediate Timeframe Analysis
Apply the Volume Profile on the ITF to find:
POC: Indicates price consensus.
HVN/LVN: Potential zones for reversals or continuation.
Watch for price approaching these levels.
Step 3: Lower Timeframe Execution
Monitor LTF for:
Divergence signals on oscillators.
Candle patterns like pin bars, engulfing candles, or inside bars at significant levels.
Confirm trades using:
Price breaking out of LVN or rejecting HVN.
Crossovers of EMA for extra confirmation.
3. Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profi t
Entry:
Long Position:
Price reacts at HVN/LVN near a support level.
Bullish divergence on LTF.
Short Position:
Price tests HVN/LVN near resistance.
Bearish divergence on LTF.
Stop Loss:
Place just beyond recent swing high/low or above/below the LVN/HVN zone.
Use ATR (1.5x) for volatility-based placement.
Take Profit:
First target: Nearby POC or Fibonacci levels.
Second target: HTF supply/demand zone

EU/USD - Ichimoku Cloud TheoriesFOREXCOM:EURUSD
Did you miss the dump?
Was it tariff chatter?
Could be numerous of items weighing on the market makers over the weekend...
But if you know the Ichimoku Cloud, and what it could tell us, it just may be a safer way to analyze our charts.
What we can take away from the EUR/USD 4H, there was a bearish opportunity to participate in.

The trend is your friend until the endNASDAQ:COST is our target
For those of you unfamiliar to Lux Algo or Market cypher , this is a good example of how these indicators could be deployed.
Big time frame -
The environment is obvious to everyone. No indicators are needed to see how well Costco has performed over the past few years.
Market cipher B -
When looking at the daily time frame I am looking for any opportunity to jump in on the larger trend. Through the use of Market cipher B momentum wave being below the zero line, but more importantly the magnitude of the pull back to the -60 line is important.
Lux Algo (Signals and Overlay) -
I like to couple this with the Neo cloud, also recognized as the Ichimoku Cloud. simply, when blue it can be a powerful tool to follow a bullish trend. When red, it will highlight the bearish trend.
Smaller timeframe (zooming in) -
Viewing the 1 hour time frame, it show us the Neo Cloud is currently red. The moment this turns blue our expectation is the follow price until this short term trend ends. But so long as the larger and smaller trend align in the same direction, this is what we will profit off of.
When this transition occurs the week of 1/6/2025, we will look to enter with the bulls. Our stop may be dynamic as price pursues in our favor locking in profits using the Neo cloud on the 1 hour as a form of support to price.
Should the price not sustain the rally, we will use previous internal candle structures to judge where to draw the line. I took the time and drew a red dotted line to outline this.
Optimistically, should Costco manage a newer ATH before the 1 hour Neo cloud switches bearish we may still look to exit our position or look for ways to abuse the positive outcome by chasing price with a stop loss and passively wait or find ways to add to the position increasing our risk.
Time will tell and only price pays.
Good luck my friends to whom ever sees this.

2. **Momentum Analysis:**
Momentum indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Averages, confirm a positive trajectory. On smaller timeframes like 1-minute and 5-minute charts, gold has shown consistent breakouts during intraday trading, indicating sustained interest from buyers.
3. **Volume Support:**
Volume spikes during upward moves suggest institutional activity, further supporting the bullish case. Price movements are backed by strong participation, which enhances the reliability of the trend.

**Fundamental Context**
The recent strength in gold prices is supported by market uncertainty, with investors seeking safe-haven assets amidst global economic concerns. Additionally, a weaker USD or dovish signals from central banks can further fuel gold’s rally.
**What’s Next?**
We’ll continue to monitor the charts and provide updates as the situation evolves. The current bullish sentiment aligns with both technical and fundamental factors, suggesting that gold’s rally still has room to grow. However, traders should watch for any signs of reversal near key resistance levels and manage their risk accordingly.
