But how does it work and when does it stop working?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>RSI Divergence<\/strong> occurs when the <strong>Relative Strength Index indicator<\/strong> starts reversing before price does.<\/p>\r\n<p>A bearish divergence consists of an overbought RSI reading, followed by lower high on RSI. At the same time, price must make a higher high on the second peak, where the RSI is lower. In a bullish divergence situation, there must be an oversold condition on the RSI, followed by a higher low on the RSI graph. Simultaneously, price must form a lower low on the second peak.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now let's take a closer look at some examples of RSI divergence and how you can use it to identify potentially profitable trading opportunties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is RSI Divergence?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Another way to look at RSI divergence is that RSI can show a change in price momentum, <em>before<\/em> you see a change in price action. You can think of it as an early warning signal.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In other words, it helps traders spot potential price reversals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RSI Divergence Examples<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O2WBesBxxzM\" width=\"840\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>It can be tough to visualize divergence from words alone, so now let's take a look at few charts, so you can see divergence in action.<\/p>\r\n<p>I'll give you examples of both bearish and bullish divergence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bearish Divergence<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here's an example of bearish divergence. Price finds 2 new highs, but on the RSI, there are 2 new lows.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This can give you a hint that upward momentum is slowing down and a downward move could be coming soon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One thing to notice about this example is that there are 2 divergence signals here. You might have traded the first divergence and possibly been stopped out.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you didn't take the second divergence, then you would have been stuck with a loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So it can help to re-enter a trade if your basic analysis of the trade stays the same.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-1020456 size-full\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img

class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Confirm RSI Divergence?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>The first thing to understand is that you cannot &#8220;confirm&#8221; <em>any<\/em> trading signal, in a way that would <em>guarantee<\/em> a profitable outcome.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You probably understand that, but some new traders think that there's a way to <em>always<\/em> be sure of a winning trade.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>That's simply not possible.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Trading is about wins <em>and<\/em> losses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>However, you <em>should<\/em> do everything you can to verify that you have a legitimate divergence trading signal&#8230;before taking a trade.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Luckily, there are only a few variables that go into a valid divergence signal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The first thing to look for in RSI divergence is a situation where RSI is in an overbought or oversold condition.<\/p>\r\n<p>This shows that there is a relatively extreme move and price is likely to bounce back from that level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Then look for a situation after that where:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Oversold:<\/strong> Price forms a lower low, but RSI forms a higher low<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Overbought:<\/strong> Price forms a higher high, but RSI forms a lower high<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also remember that the candle has to close for it to be a true RSI divergence signal.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Do not take trades before the candle closes and you get a verified divergence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In order to take advantage of as many divergence signals as possible, it helps to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/store.tradingheroes.com\/product-category\/metatrader-4-indicators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RSI divergence alert indicator<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>It's installed on a desktop or laptop and can send an alert via: email, text message (where available) and\/or push notification via the mobile app.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div
