    If MACD/histogram is rising (referring to that specific pattern) then when MACD crosses the 0 mark is a buying opportunity, opposite for declining MACD pattern.

    thanks romik,

    does it require that 3 bounces to make it valid or just any rising/falling macd/histogram will do?

    and what is the success rate like for this type of pattern?

    thanks again

    sometimes you will observe 5-6, subsiding buying/selling pressure, success rate is pretty good on longer time frames. Because it is a significant entry pattern, you will find that on quite a few occasions there is an initial fake move in the opposite direction, so perhaps entering with 1/2 position and adding on continuation is a better approach + scaling in.

    Considering that most reversals/continuations are triggered by shorter time frames, perhaps we can see continuation of the uptrend in EUR, but still not clear at this stage.

    IMO:

    weekly - ?
    daily - bearish
    240 - bearish/very early signs of bottoming
    60 - turning bullish
    30 - as 60
    15 - looking bullish
    5 - nice bullish pattern from Friday, though RSI above 70, so ?
    1 - topped
