This is my trading file to organise and jot down my take on the market .I do Technical Analysis. This blog is to keep track of my baby steps so that I can look back at my journey .Looking back tells me how far I have come from days when I knew nothing and can go further .It gives me motivation to keep going on even when I am tired. One has to back up trading with their own studies. The charts I post here are 99% inspired from Ilango sir.

Divergence

There are 4 kinds of Divergences

Regular Divergence:

  • Higher highs in price and lower highs in the oscillator which indicate a trend reversal from up to down.

  • Lower lows in price and higher lows in the oscillator which indicate a trend reversal from down to up.

Hidden Divergence:

  • Lower highs in price and higher highs in the oscillator which indicate a confirmation of the price trend which is down.

  • Higher lows in price and lower lows in the oscillator which indicate a confirmation of the price trend which is up.

Divergence is a comparison of price to technical indicators. It can also be a comparison to another symbol or spread between two symbols. Divergence occurs when what you are comparing is moving in opposite directions. Divergence can signal an up coming change in trend, a change of trend in progress or that a trend should continue. A divergence signal suggests watching for a trading opportunity in the direction of the signal. Divergences may continue over many swing highs/lows so price action should confirm your trade. This can be done in many ways, some of which are: price making a higher high/low or lower high/low or price testing the last swing high/low, price trading past high or low of previous bar, many of which will correspond with the MACD histogram crossing zero.

How does a Price action confirms -ve Divergence??
