Divergence
Divergence Trading PatternsDIVERGENCES are used to forecast an upcoming Price Reversal or Continuation.
There are 4 different types of Divergences and the first ones are Regular Bullish and Regular Bearish Divergences.
What are they?
Regular Divergences are when the price movement is contrary to the indicator movement. Signal for an upcoming Price Reversal, trend is about to change.
Then the second ones are Hidden Bullish and Hidden Bearish Divergences.
Hidden Divergences are signal of Trend Continuation. Meaning that the price continues to move in it's current direction.
If you have learned this method already this is a great reminder and works very well as cheat sheet. But if you are a learner then the chart is explaining very simple how you can spot them. You should take time and effort to learn this. It does not take long before you start spotting different kind of divergences.
You can use one of following oscillators to spot the divergences. (In the end it does not really matters which one you use).
MACD
RSI
CCI + BB
etc there are more but here are few you to get started.
Any questions or need help? Feel free to leave comments and feedback!
Yarr!
Another way to use "Divergence" to spot Fakeout from Breakout -is to find out if the momentum is getting stronger or weaker, if the chart make a higher high and the indicator made lower high so it refer to; the momentum is decreasing, in order to spot the (breakout from fakeout)
-in this example we have a rectangle consolidation, you can see the first breakout was a fake out, here we'll use divergence to spot this fake out take a look at the indicator is making higher low while the price get back to same low this indicate the momentum is decreasing, the bears are already exhausted and the price get back to rectangle pattern.
-But the next one was a real breakout look at the indicator is making lower low just like the price, also if you look what just happened next the price soar up to reach the support line of the rectangle pattern which is turned to resistance, the bears gathers more steam to push the price down
-Hopefully this was helpful and another tool to put it in your arsenal facing the market wish y'all a green week, Peace.
