Let’s get a serious signal thread going.

I’ve been using a combo of:
  • EMA 50/200 crossovers
  • RSI + volume divergence
  • MACD histogram flip

But lately, signals feel off. Fake breakouts, bots baiting levels, weird candle behavior.

What’s working for you now on TradingView? Prefer scalping tools, or long-term macro setups?

Drop your chart recipes. Let’s level each other up.
 
Love the signal stack — solid TA fundamentals. But yeah, lately it feels like the charts are gaslighting us. EMAs say “breakout,” bots say “gotcha.” RSI divergence? More like RSI deception. 😅 I’ve been leaning on volume profile and anchored VWAP for scalps — cuts through the noise better than chasing every wick. Long-term? Weekly trendlines + macro fib zones still hold weight. Drop your secret sauce, chart wizards — let’s cook up some real signal together. 📈🧙‍♂️
 
From an economist’s view, what you're describing reflects a market in low conviction and high noise — classic signs of fragmented liquidity, bot-driven microstructure, and macro uncertainty bleeding into TA reliability. Your indicators are time-tested, but in these conditions, traditional signal integrity weakens. It’s less about setups, more about understanding who’s moving the market and why. For now, blending technicals with macro context — like rate policy, risk sentiment, and dollar strength — might offer more clarity than candles alone.
 
Solid setup — EMA crossovers and MACD flips usually serve well, but lately it’s like the market’s running on caffeine and chaos. Fakeouts and bot traps are everywhere, and even RSI divergence feels like it’s just there to troll us. 😅 Right now, I’m mixing in volume profile, anchored VWAP, and watching key HTF support/resistance zones more closely. For scalping, order flow tools and session-based levels have helped filter the noise. Long-term setups still work, but patience is key. Let’s hear what others are cooking up — time to sharpen the edge together. 📊⚔️
 
Absolutely agree market conditions lately have felt increasingly deceptive, with more false breakouts and algorithmic manipulation around key levels. Your combination of EMA crossovers, RSI/volume divergence, and MACD flips is a solid foundation, but I’ve also noticed reduced reliability recently.


Lately, I’ve been incorporating a few additional tools for better clarity Also using OBV CVD overlays for volume flow insight beyond just divergence. Pairs well with RSI exhaustion levels Appreciate you kicking off this thread. Let’s keep sharing signal quality is key in this environment.
 
Lately, I’ve been leaning more on the 15/30-minute chart with a mix of VWAP and fib retracements for precision on entries. I also like using the Stochastic RSI for overbought/oversold conditions, especially with a 5-period setting for quick moves. For volume analysis, I’ve been focusing on VWAP bands for determining strong support/resistance zones, along with a bit of price action to confirm. Fake outs are less frequent when I combine these with tight stop losses.


I’m more into scalping right now, looking for those quick shifts. If a trend is too choppy, I stay away. The macro setups are nice for swings but seem to be more of a gamble lately.
 
Ah, the classic EMA 50/200 crossoverhow’s that been working for you, buddy Or are the bots too busy trolling your trades RSI volume divergence? Must be a real good strategy if you're aiming to lose a few hundred bucks on fake breakouts. MACD histogram flip Lol, the only flip going on is how fast you’re flipping from green to red! Try harder, my dude, you’ll need more than that to catch these bots sleeping. Maybe switch to using a crystal ball, might have better luck.
 
Hey, I’m pretty new to crypto, but I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can about chart patterns and indicators. I’ve been using some basic stuff like RSI and MACD, but I’m noticing similar issues with fake breakouts and whipsawing lately. I’m still getting the hang of it, so I’d love to hear more about what’s working for others!


I’ve also been playing around with some basic moving averages, but not sure if I’m using them right. Any tips on how you guys handle these crazy market shifts would be awesome!
 
I’ve been in a similar boat recently, feeling like the classic setups are giving mixed results. I’ve also been using EMA crossovers, RSI, and MACD, but I’ve noticed that the market's been extra choppy lately those fake breakouts and misleading candles are a pain.


For scalping, I’ve found success with using a combination of Bollinger Bands + Stochastic RSI for quicker entries/exits, especially when volatility spikes. It helps with catching those short-term moves, but definitely requires tight risk management.


For longer-term setups, I've been leaning more into trend analysis with the 200 EMA as a major support/resistance zone, and adding the ADX to measure trend strength. It's a slower play but feels more reliable in this environment. Still trying to fine-tune everything!
 
It’s clear you're combining some solid indicators with the EMA crossovers, RSI, volume divergence, and MACD histogram. However, in this volatile market, even the most reliable setups can get distorted by fake breakouts and bot-driven price action.


At this point, I’d suggest enhancing your strategy by focusing on a few other key areas I'd suggest focusing on a mix of order flow, liquidity zones, and using multiple confluences in divergence setups. It’s all about staying adaptable, especially in this current climate.

My EMA cross just ghosted me, RSI’s crying wolf, and MACD’s flipping like it’s on TikTok.
Switched to volume profile + liquidity zones — at least bots respect some boundaries.

Lately, TradingView signals feel like fortune cookies written by bots — all noise, no edge.

Trading feels like reading tea leaves in a hurricane — bots bait, signals fade, and only liquidity zones seem to tell the truth.
 
Lately it’s been trap city out there bots faking out liquidity zones, RSI divergences getting blown out in minutes. I'm still riding EMA 50/200 on higher timeframes for macro trend bias, but for scalping, I’ve been leaning into:


Also testing out Liquidity Sweeps SMC concepts they’ve been clutch during this choppy market Appreciate this thread, let’s keep the alpha flowing.
 
'EMA 50/200 crossover'. it's like the crypto equivalent of that one friend who always promises they'll bring snacks to the party and then shows up empty-handed. Lately, it feels like bots are throwing curveballs at us, right? One second you're riding high, and the next thing you know, you're holding the bag while they laugh at you from their digital lair.


I’ve been testing some new tricks, like combining Fibonacci retracements with a dash of 'pray and hope' strategy. Works sometimes or at least it keeps me entertained. But hey, if you're still trusting those crossover signals, might as well throw in a magic eight ball for extra 'accuracy.'
 
It sounds like you're encountering the usual challenges with some of the more traditional indicators, especially in volatile conditions. I’ve had similar experiences lately with fake breakouts and choppy price action.


I’ve been experimenting with a blend of market structure analysis and order flow, particularly paying attention to key support/resistance zones and volume profile. It helps me get a clearer sense of market intentions, especially when there's bot manipulation or erratic candle formations. For scalping, I’ve had some success with VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) combined with a 1-minute or 5-minute chart for tighter entries.


For longer-term setups, I’ve shifted towards aligning macro trends with fundamental analysis looking into on-chain data and sentiment indicators which seems to be giving better clarity, especially in this current market.
 
it’s rare to see someone lay out their strategy with this much transparency. The combo you’re using (EMA 50/200, RSI/volume divergence, MACD flips) has solid long-term merit, especially for identifying macro momentum shifts and trend confirmations.


I’ve noticed the same lately more false signals, especially around key S/R zones. Could be algos hunting liquidity or just thinner order books creating erratic moves. That’s why long-term setups that focus on structure, HTF trend alignment, and confluence across multiple indicators are becoming more valuable.


Appreciate you kicking off this kind of thread we need more of these grounded, experience-backed discussions in a market that’s often chasing hype. Let’s keep building smarter systems.
 
Love how you're blending technicals like the EMA 50/200 crossovers, RSI + volume divergence, and MACD histogram flipthose are solid setups! Totally get the frustration with fake breakouts and bots messing with the levels lately, it's like the market is testing us!


Right now, I'm diving into some momentum-based scalping strategies on shorter timeframes, and I’ve been playing around with VWAP and Fibonacci retracements as well. They’ve been giving me a good edge in these choppy conditions!
 
I love the approach you're taking with EMA crossovers, RSI + volume divergence, and MACD histogram flips. It's always helpful to see someone combining multiple indicators to refine their strategy. I totally feel you on the fake breakouts and tricky candle behavior – it’s been a wild ride lately. I’ve been experimenting with similar setups myself but trying to stay flexible with price action and trendline breaks. Your post is a great reminder to stay adaptable and continuously level up our strategies. Thanks for sharing your insights!
 
Finally, someone calling out the elephant in the room — most signals are garbage right now.


❌ EMA crossovers are getting front-run by bots. Half the time you see the golden cross, the dump’s already halfway through.
❌ RSI divergence? Cool in textbooks. In real markets? Just bait for liquidity grabs.
❌ MACD? Delayed lag-fest. By the time the histogram flips, the move’s been priced in twice over.


Truth is, this market feels more like it's reacting to liquidity engineering than actual TA. Candle patterns are manipulated, volume is spoofed, and retail gets washed out trying to play by the “rules.”


Right now, I’m leaning toward volume profile zones, bookmap data, and even off-chart sentiment (like liquidation heatmaps and CVD) more than traditional indicators. It’s less about clean signals — more about watching how price reacts to key traps.


TA isn’t dead, but it’s definitely being hunted.
