FAQ
A MACD-inspired histogram split into purple and black segments around zero so you can see dual-tone momentum strength—everything above zero labelled bullish pressure, everything below bearish in the product narrative.
Break a meaningful resistance level, then insist both histogram colours remain above zero while you plan longs; if any part slips under zero, the guide treats momentum as failing and suggests exiting—tight marriage between level work and oscillator sign.
Break support, keep both histogram slices below zero while short; cover or tighten when any portion reclaims zero because seller thrust may be ending.
Piercing levels without histogram agreement often marks liquidity grabs; requiring both filters cuts sneaky stop runs that reverse immediately.
