Divergence BTC USD Crypto Trading

In bitcoin trading, divergences between the BOP and bitcoin price can be used to effectively identifying potential reversal and/or bitcoin trend continuation points in the bitcoin price movement. There are various different types of divergences:

Classic Divergence - Bitcoin Trend reversal bitcoin signal

Hidden Divergence - Bitcoin Trend continuation

Bitcoin Overbought and Oversold Conditions

This BOP can be used to identify potentially overbought and oversold conditions in bitcoin price movement.

Overbought/Oversold levels can be used to provide an early signal for potential bitcoin trend reversals.
These levels are derived & generated when the indicator clusters its tops and bottoms thus setting up the overbought & over-sold levels around those values.

However, bitcoin price may also stay at these over bought and oversold levels & continue heading in that particular direction for a period of time and thus it's always good to wait until the BOP crosses over Zero mark.

From the example illustrated below, even though the BOP showed the bitcoin price was oversold, btcusd price continued moving downwards until when the technical indicator crossed over above the Zero level.
