When Price and Momentum Disagree

Divergence is the one oscillator read that survives a trend — and it warns of a change in pace, never of a reversal.

What the lesson covers

  1. 0:00Divergence is the only oscillator signal that still works inside a trend.
  2. 0:05The definition. Price makes a higher high while the oscillator makes a lower one. Or the reverse.
  3. 0:14What it actually means. The advance is covering less ground per bar. It is a change in pace, not in direction.
  4. 0:23Why it fails so often. A strong trend can diverge for months, printing higher highs the entire time.
  5. 0:32Making it usable. Wait for price to confirm — a broken level — before treating the divergence as anything.
  6. 0:40Let it raise your attention, and let price make the decision.
