1hr: Price below VWAP (3.317) ⚠️
4hr: Volume below average (18977) ⚠️
4hr: Price below VWAP (3.222) ⚠️Intraday Trading Plan:
Intraday signals for IH are currently mixed, suggesting caution. While the 4-hour and 1-hour charts show price holding above key moving averages and positive MACD, the immediate short-term (30min) momentum is weakening with a negative MACD histogram. Crucially, volume on all intraday timeframes is below average, and price is trading below VWAP, indicating a lack of strong intraday buying conviction.
Best approach for intraday traders: WAIT. Do not initiate new long positions until volume picks up and price can sustain above its VWAP on the 30min and 1hr charts. A clear bullish MACD histogram on the 30min timeframe would also be a strong confirmation.
Confidence: 55% – The conflicting signals and low volume make high-probability intraday setups difficult.

4hr: Uptrend confirmed, price above all MAs ✓Risk Signals:
Weekly: RSI overbought (71.45) ⚠️
Daily: RSI overbought (74.78) ⚠️Swing Trading Plan:
IH shows strong bullish alignment across swing timeframes. The weekly golden cross is a significant long-term bullish signal, reinforced by the price trading well above all major moving averages on both weekly and daily charts. Momentum indicators like MACD are strongly bullish, and volume has confirmed recent upward moves on these higher timeframes. The overbought RSI on weekly and daily suggests the possibility of a short-term pullback, which could offer a better entry point.
Entry: Consider entering 50% position at current levels ($3.17) or on a pullback towards the Daily SMA_5 ($2.618) or 4hr SMA_5 ($2.954).
Stop Loss: Place stop loss below the Daily SMA_20 ($2.46) or a recent swing low around \$2.40.
Target 1: Previous high of \$3.60.
Target 2: Measured move from breakout, potentially towards \$4.00-$4.50.
Risk/Reward: Favorable, aiming for at least 1:2 or better.
Confidence: 85% – Multiple timeframe alignment on trend, momentum, and volume provides a high-quality swing setup.
Signal Confluence Matrix
Signal Type | 30m | 1hr | 4hr | Daily | Weekly | Confluence
-------------- |------|------|------|-------|--------|------------
Trend (MA) | ↑ | ↑ | ↑ | ↑ | ↑ | 100% Bullish
Momentum (RSI) | → | → | → | ↑ | ↑ | 60% Bullish (Overbought on higher TFs)
MACD | ↓ | → | ↑ | ↑ | ↑ | 80% Bullish (30m histogram negative)
Volume | ↓ | ↓ | ↓ | ↑ | ↑ | Mixed (Strong on higher TFs, weak on lower)
Volatility | → | → | → | ↑ | ↑ | 60% Bullish (Expansion on higher TFs)Key Insights:
The cross-timeframe analysis reveals a clear divergence between higher and lower timeframes. Weekly and Daily charts exhibit strong bullish trends, momentum, and volume, indicating a robust underlying uptrend. In contrast, the 30min, 1hr, and 4hr charts show signs of short-term exhaustion or consolidation, with declining volume and some momentum indicators (30min MACD histogram) turning negative.
The strongest confluence is in the overall trend, with price firmly above all moving averages across all timeframes. Momentum is bullish on higher timeframes but shows short-term weakness. Volume is a key differentiator, being strong on daily/weekly but weak intraday. This suggests that while the long-term outlook is very positive, short-term price action might be choppy or prone to pullbacks.
Risk Assessment & Signal Quality
Signal Strength Assessment:
- Strong Signals: Weekly Golden Cross, Daily/Weekly price above all MAs, Daily/Weekly MACD bullish, Daily/Weekly volume breakout.
- Moderate Signals: 4hr trend and MACD.
- Weak Signals: Intraday volume, 30min MACD histogram, 1hr/30min PSAR sell signals (likely lagging).
When Signals Would Fail:
- Significant Pullback: If price fails to hold above the Daily SMA_20 ($2.46) or the 4hr SMA_20 ($2.48), indicating a deeper correction than anticipated.
- Momentum Reversal: If Daily or Weekly MACD crosses bearish, or RSI drops sharply from overbought levels without finding support.
- Lack of Follow-Through: If volume remains low on daily candles following the recent breakout, suggesting a lack of conviction from buyers.
Quality Checks:
The signal quality is HIGH for swing trading due to the strong alignment and confirmation from multiple higher timeframes. For intraday trading, the quality is LOW-MODERATE due to conflicting momentum signals and weak volume. The primary red flag is the overbought RSI on daily/weekly, which often precedes a consolidation or pullback. Traders should monitor for volume expansion on any upward moves and ensure intraday signals begin to align with the broader bullish trend before attempting short-term entries.
Actionable Trading Plan
For Intraday Traders:
Current setup: WAIT.
Signals are too mixed for high-probability day trades. The low intraday volume and negative 30min MACD histogram suggest a lack of immediate bullish conviction.
Set alerts for:
- 1hr MACD histogram turning positive and expanding: Potential long entry.
- Price breaking and holding above \$3.30 (recent high): Momentum long.
- Volume spike above 2x average on a green candle: Confirmation of renewed buying interest.
- Break below \$3.00 (recent low): Stand aside, as this would indicate further short-term weakness.
When signals align, consider risking 0.5% per trade until confidence improves.
For Swing Traders:
Current setup: BUY.
Strong multi-timeframe alignment supports entries. The weekly golden cross and sustained uptrend are compelling.
- Entry: Enter 50% position at market ($3.17). Consider adding the remaining 50% on any pullback towards \$2.95 (4hr SMA_5) or \$2.61 (Daily SMA_5).
- Stop Loss: Place a hard stop loss at \$2.40 (below Daily SMA_20 and recent swing low).
- Targets: \$3.60 (previous high), then \$4.00, and \$4.50 (based on potential measured moves).
- Position size: Normal risk (1-2% of capital) given the high signal quality for swing trading.
For Both:
The next 24-48 hours are critical. We need to see:
- Intraday signals (30min/1hr) begin to align with the daily/weekly bullish trend.
- Volume expansion on any upward moves, especially on the 4hr and daily charts.
- Price must hold above \$3.00 on any pullback to maintain short-term bullish structure.
No Trade Zones:
Avoid trading if:
- Price gets stuck between \$3.00 and \$3.30 with low volume (noise zone).
- Daily close below \$2.46 (Daily SMA_20).
- Conflicting signals persist for more than 2 days without resolution.
Signal Evolution Monitoring
Bullish Confirmation Signals:
- 30min/1hr RSI breaking above 60 and holding.
- Volume spike above 2x average on 4hr and daily charts.
- 4hr close above \$3.30, confirming a continuation of the recent high.
- Daily MACD histogram expansion, indicating strengthening momentum.
- Price breaking above the weekly upper Bollinger Band ($2.94) and holding.
Bearish Invalidation Signals:
- Any timeframe RSI showing bearish divergence (new price high, lower RSI high).
- Daily close below the 50-day Moving Average ($2.39).
- 4hr MACD crossing negative and histogram turning red.
- Significant volume spike on a decline, indicating strong selling pressure.
- Price breaking below the weekly SMA_5 ($2.54).
Timeline:
- 30min: Need 6-8 candles (3-4 hours) to show sustained price action above \$3.15 with increasing volume and a positive MACD histogram.
- 4hr: Need a close above \$3.30 today to confirm continuation of the recent upward move.
- Daily: Must hold above the Daily SMA_5 ($2.61) on any pullback. A close below this level would indicate short-term weakness.
If signals do not improve within these windows, especially on the shorter timeframes, it would be prudent to downgrade confidence and potentially reduce position size for swing trades, or remain on the sidelines for intraday.
