Decoding Momentum with Precision: Absolute Strength HistogramMomentum is more than just a buzzword—it’s the pulse of price action. The Absolute Strength Histogram v2 is a powerful open-source indicator that brings that pulse to life, helping traders visualize the ongoing tug-of-war between bulls and bears with clarity and precision.
In this post, we’ll explore how this tool works, how we use it at Xuantify, and how you can integrate it into your own trading strategy to sharpen your edge.
🔍 What Is the Absolute Strength Histogram ?
Originally developed by jiehonglim , this indicator is a refined version of the classic Absolute Strength Histogram. It measures the relative strength of buyers and sellers and plots it as a color-coded histogram.
Key Features:
Color-coded bars to reflect bullish or bearish dominance
Clear visual cues for trend strength and exhaustion
Helps identify trending vs. ranging market conditions
Open-source and customizable
Unlike traditional oscillators, this histogram doesn’t just show overbought or oversold—it shows who’s in control , and how strongly.
🧠 How We Use It at Xuantify
At Xuantify, we use the Absolute Strength Histogram as a momentum confirmation tool within our multi-layered trading models. Here’s how:
1. Trend Confirmation
We look for alignment between price structure and histogram color. For example, if price breaks structure to the upside and the histogram turns green and rising, that’s a strong confirmation of bullish momentum.
2. Divergence Detection
When price makes a new high but the histogram prints a lower high, it signals momentum divergence —a potential early warning of reversal.
3. Range Filtering
Flat or alternating histogram bars often indicate a ranging market . We avoid trend trades during these periods and instead look for mean-reversion setups.
🧩 New: Pivot High/Low Overlay for Reversal Clarity
To make the Absolute Strength Histogram even more actionable, we’ve added a custom Pivot High/Low indicator that visually marks key swing points on the chart. This addition helps traders clearly see how the histogram behaves before, during, and after reversals .
Below an example of HTF 4H used as stronger trade confirmation:
Why this matters:
It highlights where momentum shifts align with structural turning points
It helps validate divergence signals from the histogram
It makes backtesting and visual analysis much easier
How to use it:
Watch for histogram color or slope changes near pivot highs/lows
Look for divergence between price and histogram at these pivots
Use the pivot zones as potential entry or exit points when confirmed by momentum
🔄 Does It Repaint?
One of the most common concerns with momentum indicators is whether they repaint —meaning they change past values based on future price action. The Absolute Strength Histogram is designed to be non-repainting .
Once a histogram bar is printed, it remains fixed, making it suitable for real-time decision-making and reliable backtesting . This gives traders confidence that what they see on the chart is what actually happened in the moment—not a hindsight illusion.
⚙️ Settings That Matter
The indicator comes with several adjustable parameters, but one of the most impactful is the “Indicator Method” setting.
Our recommendation:
Set Indicator Method = STOCHASTIC for smoother, more responsive signals
This setting tends to reduce noise and better capture momentum shifts
It works especially well in combination with structure-based entries
Other useful settings include:
Length – Controls the sensitivity of the histogram
Smoothing – Helps reduce choppiness in volatile markets
Color thresholds – Customize visual cues for easier interpretation
⚙️ Best Combinations with This Indicator
To maximize its effectiveness, we combine the Absolute Strength Histogram v2 with:
Market Structure Tools – Like BOS/CHOCH from LuxAlgo Smart Money Concepts
Volume Profile – To confirm strength around key volume nodes
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – For precision entries when histogram confirms direction
RSI or Stochastic – For additional momentum or exhaustion confirmation
This layered approach helps us filter out noise and focus only on high-conviction trades .
⚠️ What to Watch Out For
No indicator is perfect. The Absolute Strength Histogram can sometimes lag slightly in fast-moving markets. It’s best used as a confirmation tool , not a standalone signal generator.
Also, in low-volume or choppy conditions, the histogram may give mixed signals. Always combine it with structure and context.
🚀 Final Thoughts
The Absolute Strength Histogram is a clean, intuitive, and powerful tool for traders who want to see momentum clearly . Whether you’re a trend trader, scalper, or swing strategist, this indicator can help you stay on the right side of the market.
At Xuantify, we’re all about combining simplicity with precision. This tool fits that philosophy perfectly.
Add it to your chart, test it, and see how it sharpens your edge.

📈 Ethereum (ETH) Long Position Outlook
Ethereum is currently one of the most difficult assets to predict in terms of direction.
Recently, it has shown frequent irregular movements, which—while unpredictable—can be attractive from a short-term trading perspective due to the increased volatility.
From a technical standpoint, Ethereum appears to have completed its B wave.
When measuring the 5-wave structure using trend-based Fibonacci extension, the B wave concludes near the 0.786 level.
This 0.786 extension is a custom wave ratio developed by the Seovereign team and has shown strong reliability in live trading scenarios.
To avoid visual clutter on the chart, we have chosen to highlight only the most important 0.786 level in this analysis.
All detailed wave counts and ratios have been marked on the chart, so feel free to refer to them for more specifics.
🎯 Target Levels
1st Target: 2,555
2nd Target: 2,589
3rd Target: 2,624
Due to the high volatility, the potential for opportunity is also high—but proper risk management remains essential.
This zone is considered a technically valid entry point for a long position.
Approach the market with flexibility and strategic focus.
DeGRAM | ETHUSD kept the support📊 Technical Analysis
● ETH retested the old wedge roof (~2 450) and the new rising‑trendline in one touch, confirming them as support and printing a higher low.
● Price is climbing inside a fresh ascending channel; a mini bull‑flag above 2 600 targets the next horizontal resistance/supply at 2 886‑3 083.
💡 Fundamental Analysis
● CME Ether futures open‑interest topped $1.6 B while US spot‑ETH ETFs saw net inflows this week, signalling broader institutional accumulation as softer US CPI dents real yields.
✨ Summary
Confluent support at 2 450‑2 600 plus record futures/ETF demand back a tactical long: objectives 2 886 → 3 083; manage risk on a 16 h close below 2 450.

HolderStat┆ETHUSD pressing trend resistanceCRYPTOCAP:ETH blasted out of a mega-triangle, topping at 2.80 k, and keeps pressing along an aggressive rising trendline. Candles are marching through overlapping consolidations, each one springboarding higher; sustain footing above 2.55 k and the route to the 3.0-3.1 k sell zone stays paved. Slip back under 2.40 k and a broad retest of the prior wedge roof near 2.25 k awaits.
ETHUSDT: Trend in 4H time framehe color levels are very accurate levels of support and resistance in different time frames, and we have to wait for their reaction in these areas.
So, Please pay special attention to the very accurate trend, colored levels, and you must know that SETUP is very sensitive.

Ethereum (ETH): Filled Bearish CME, Buyers Dominating For Now...Ethereum started with decent upward movement after we recently filled the bearish CME gap near $2346, which also marked the successful retest of the broken area (on bigger timeframes).
We are monitoring that area still but seeing the dominance from buyers, we might be seeing a good upwards movement and breakout happening very soon so eyes on resistance!!

Ethereum (ETH): Looking For Re-Test Before Next Major MoveSeeing the slight overweight by buyers, we are still looking for our local resistance zone to be retested, considering the current demand for upward movement on the socials. We are waiting for that resistance to be touched, after which we will be monitoring the price development and seeing if we get any proper breakouts with retests from there (PLAN A), or we see a good rejection and MSB to form (PLAN B).

ETH 4H LONG SETUPCRYPTOCAP:ETH has bounced off 4H trend support and is coiling into a falling wedge—volatility is low, so a sharp move is likely.
1. Context & Structure
• Rejection off trendline at ~$2,516.50 (diagonal resistance)
• Price contained in a tightening wedge after correction
• Holding above wedge support since the last low
2. Key Levels
• Resistance break: $2,520
• Lower wedge base/buy zone: $2,289.27–$2,270
• Stop-loss: Weekly/4H close below $2,270
• Primary take-profit: $3,050.50
3. Trading Plan
– Primary: Go long on a 4H close > $2,520; target $3,050.50; SL < $2,270
– Alternate: If rejected at resistance, wait for a pullback into $2,289–$2,270; look for a bullish MSB or reversal candle to enter the long with the same TP/SL
Trade confirmed breakouts or clean reversal signals—avoid FOMO and overleveraging. 🚀
ETHEREUM New Update (1D)Ethereum has reclaimed the flip zone, but it hasn't tested this area or made a proper pullback yet.
It's expected that this zone will be tested before the price moves toward higher targets.
If we see a strong reaction around the green zone, we can look for potential buy/long positions.
A daily candle closing below the invalidation level would invalidate this analysis.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management
When we reach the first target, save some profit and then change the stop to entry
Comment if you have any questions
Thank You
Ethereum (ETH): Reached The Resistance Line | Plan A VS Plan BEthereum has reached an important zone where this area will decide in which direction our next bigger movement. For now we are just going to wait and not rush into any trade but as soon as we see any kind of BOS to form or proper rejection with MSB, we are going to look for proper movement to lower zones.

Check if the price can hold above 2627.18
Hello, traders.
If you "Follow", you can always get the latest information quickly.
Have a nice day today.
-------------------------------------
(ETHUSDT 1D chart)
The M-Signal indicator on the 1M chart has risen above.
Accordingly, the key is whether it can find support near 2677.18 and rise.
If OBV rises above the A line, the price is expected to rise significantly once more.
Then, it is expected to rise to around 3265.0-3321.30.
-
If it falls without being supported near 2627.18, it is necessary to check whether it is supported near the right Fibonacci ratio 0.5 (2295.84).
Since the M-Signal indicator on the 1W and 1D charts is passing near that point, it is expected to play an important role.
-
Since the StochRSI indicator is in the overbought zone, it will eventually show a downward trend.
It is not known how much this decline will occur, but since the StochRSI 50 indicator is currently formed near 2359.35, it is important to check whether there is support near that area.
Therefore, in order to proceed with a new transaction, I think it is better to check the support point when the StochRSI indicator shows a downward and then upward trend in the overbought zone.
-
Thank you for reading to the end.
I hope you have a successful transaction.
--------------------------------------------------
- Here is an explanation of the big picture.
I used TradingView's INDEX chart to check the entire range of BTC.
I rewrote the previous chart to update it while touching the Fibonacci ratio range of 1.902 (101875.70) ~ 2 (106275.10).
(Previous BTCUSD 12M chart)
Looking at the big picture, it seems to have been maintaining an upward trend following a pattern since 2015.
In other words, it is a pattern that maintains a 3-year bull market and faces a 1-year bear market.
Accordingly, the upward trend is expected to continue until 2025.
-
(Current BTCUSD 12M chart)
Based on the currently written Fibonacci ratio, it is displayed up to 3.618 (178910.15).
It is expected that it will not fall again below the Fibonacci ratio of 0.618 (44234.54).
(BTCUSDT 12M chart)
Based on the BTCUSDT chart, I think it is around 42283.58.
-
I will explain it again with the BTCUSD chart.
The Fibonacci ratio ranges marked in the green boxes, 1.902 (101875.70) ~ 2 (106275.10) and 3 (151166.97) ~ 3.14 (157451.83), are expected to be important support and resistance ranges.
In other words, it seems likely that they will act as volume profile ranges.
Therefore, in order to break through these ranges upward, I think the point to watch is whether they can receive support and rise near the Fibonacci ratios of 1.618 (89126.41) and 2.618 (134018.28).
Therefore, the maximum rising range in 2025 is expected to be the 3 (151166.97) ~ 3.14 (157451.83) range.
In order to do that, we need to see if it is supported and rises near 2.618 (134018.28).
If it falls after the bull market in 2025, we don't know how far it will fall, but based on the previous decline, we expect it to fall by about -60% to -70%.
Therefore, if it starts to fall near the Fibonacci ratio 3.14 (157451.83), it seems likely that it will fall to around Fibonacci 0.618 (44234.54).
I will explain more details when the bear market starts.

Golden Cross Brewing on Ethereum — Eyes on $4,000 BreakoutEthereum (ETH) is on the verge of printing a golden cross on the daily chart — a bullish signal where the 21-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average. Historically, this formation has triggered strong upward moves, and current price structure supports the possibility of a similar rally if key resistance is broken.
ETH has already bounced from the Point of Control (POC) and is currently consolidating just under $2,800, a major resistance level that also aligns with the Value Area High (VAH). This confluence makes it a critical breakout zone.
Key Highlights:
Golden Cross Setup: 21MA approaching a bullish crossover of 200MA
Major Resistance: $2,800 (confluence with VAH)
Support Structure: 21MA and 200MA providing bullish structure
Next Target: $4,000 if breakout is confirmed with volume
Volume remains the key missing piece — a breakout above $2,800 without volume may lead to a fakeout, but strong participation could validate the breakout and accelerate a rally toward $4,000.
Watch for price to either consolidate under $2,800 (bullish compression) or break with a volume spike. A confirmed golden cross and breakout could be the trigger for a multi-week bullish expansion, similar to previous patterns in ETH’s history.
ETH 12H LONGCRYPTOCAP:ETH is trapped in a 12H “pain corridor” after false breakouts above $2,608.13 and below $2,406.63 wiped out late buyers & shorts. Here’s the refined playbook:
Context & Observations
• 12H range: $2,406.63–$2,608.13
• Liquidity grabs above & below, now coiling mid-range
• Volume cluster around $2,506 hints at pent-up energy
• Market structure leans bullish for a breakout
Plan & Levels
• Primary: Hold longs through the range, target $3,164.51 (0.618 Fibo) on a clean 12H close > $2,608.13
• Alternative: On a retest of $2,406.63–$2,500, add or reinforce longs if support holds
• Stop-loss: 12H close < $2,406.63
Triggers
– 12H close > $2,608.13 → priority long entry
– Fake downside breakout & swift reclaim of $2,406.63 → buy signal
– Volume surge on breakout for confirmation
Conclusion
Both longs & shorts have been flushed. Now wait for a decisive exit above $2,608.13 before chasing the move up to $3,164.51. Patience is your edge. 🚀
ETH going up... 🚀 ETH/USDT Current Analysis 🚀

ETHUSDT | Two Opportunities. One Smart Approach.I’ve been closely watching how buyers behave under the green line — and they’re clearly not backing down. But what really catches my eye is the blue box , a clean demand zone I’ve seen act as a launchpad in the past.
You don’t need to jump in blindly.
Depending on your risk appetite, both levels are valid. But if you wait for a 15-minute breakout confirmation on the low timeframe before acting on either, your odds of success increase significantly.
This is how I keep my win rate high, waiting for the market to prove itself first.
“I will not insist on my short idea. If the levels suddenly break upwards and do not give a downward break in the low time frame, I will not evaluate it. If they break upwards with volume and give a retest, I will look long.”
Most traders rush in. You wait smart. That’s the edge.
Choose wisely. Follow closely.
📌I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions.
📌My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record. I don’t claim to know it all but I’m confident in my ability to spot high-probability setups.
📌If you would like to learn how to use the heatmap, cumulative volume delta and volume footprint techniques that I use below to determine very accurate demand regions, you can send me a private message. I help anyone who wants it completely free of charge.

Going Short on EthereumBINANCE:ETHUSDT
Ethereum has moved up strongly in the last 6 weeks to a key resistance level, which is the 50% Fibonacci Retracement, leaving a huge Fair Value Gap between the $2,400 USDT and the $1,900 USDT level. Most Fair Value Gaps get filled, and I expect it to be the case this time. The Gap closes at around $1,900 USDT.
I also see this move overextended in the short term and do for a correction, so I am going short here.
I hope you find this interesting.
Good luck to you
ETHUSDT is Breaking Out!! Is the Bull Run Finally Here?After a long period of consolidation within a descending channel, BINANCE:ETHUSDT is showing signs of life as it finally breaks out with bullish intent. This technical breakout could mark the beginning of a fresh bull run, reminiscent of past explosive moves we’ve seen from MARKETSCOM:ETHEREUM following major corrections. Historically, CRYPTOCAP:ETH has experienced drawdowns of over 90%, only to bounce back stronger and reach new all-time highs.
Currently, BITSTAMP:ETHUSD remains deep in the oversold zone, suggesting it’s still undervalued relative to its potential. As momentum begins to pick up, we could see targets being hit one by one, driven by renewed investor interest and favorable market conditions.
Moreover, the recent surge in COINBASE:ETHUSD ETF inflows adds fundamental weight to the technical setup. This institutional participation could act as a catalyst for a sustained rally, reinforcing the bullish bias.
That said, risk management is key. Always trade with a clear stop loss and position sizing to protect capital. The opportunity is brewing – the question is, are you ready to ride the wave?
