Momentum Strategy

MACD Histogram Exhaustion

MACD Exhaustion exits focus on the 'second derivative' of momentum. When the histogram bars start shrinking, the momentum is fading—even if price is still climbing.

Execution Logic

  • 1
    Wait for MACD Histogram to reach a recent 'Peak' height.
  • 2
    Watch for the first bar that is smaller than the previous one.
  • 3
    Confirm with volume divergence if possible.
  • 4
    Exit on the first sign of histogram compression.

Why it works

Helps traders 'Take The Profit' while the trend is still technically intact, avoiding the deep retracement that follows exhaustion.
