1. Bullish Divergence Example: UPL Ltd
Here’s what happened:
- Price Action: UPL Ltd made a lower low on the chart.
- RSI Indicator: At the same time, RSI formed a higher low, creating a clear bullish divergence.
What does it mean?
- Even though the price was dropping, the RSI hinted that momentum was picking up. This is often a clue that a reversal might be on the horizon.
Outcome:
- Right after confirming the divergence, UPL Ltd saw a strong rally, rewarding traders who caught the signal early.
2. Bearish Divergence Example: Tata Motors
Here’s another case:
- Price Action: Tata Motors was climbing, forming a higher high on the chart.
- RSI Indicator: But the RSI didn’t agree—it created a lower high, signaling a bearish divergence.
What does it mean?
- The rising price didn’t have the momentum to back it up. This imbalance often leads to a downward reversal.
Outcome:
- As expected, Tata Motors experienced a bearish reversal soon after, validating the divergence and giving traders a great shorting opportunity.
Why Divergence Is a Must-Know for Traders
Divergence is so effective because it reveals hidden shifts in market momentum before they show up on price charts. Here’s why it’s worth paying attention to:
- Early Signals: Divergences give you a head start by showing potential reversals before they happen.
- Versatile Tool: You can use divergence with multiple indicators like MACD or Stochastic for extra confirmation.
- Better Timing: Pairing divergence with support/resistance levels or trendlines helps you fine-tune your entries and exits.
How to Trade Divergence Like a Pro
- Combine divergence signals with major support/resistance levels for stronger setups.
- Always wait for confirmation—like a breakout or a reversal candlestick—before taking action
- Use stop losses to protect your trades in case the divergence doesn’t play out.
