Divergence

A divergence appears when price and an indicator (like the RSI) move in opposite directions, hinting at a possible reversal.

For example, price makes a new high but the RSI makes a lower high: the rise is losing strength under the surface. Divergence is a warning, not a guaranteed reversal.

Example

Price climbs to a new high, but the RSI falls: bearish divergence, caution.
