RSI Indicator Divergence Trading Setups

The divergence setup is one of the Stock Index setups that traders use: it means checking out a trade chart along with another measurement. We will use the RSI measurement.

Identifying divergence setups requires spotting two points on an index chart where price forms a new swing high or low, but the RSI does not. This divergence reveals a mismatch between price movement and momentum.

RSI Divergence Example:

In the accompanying trade chart, we pinpoint two key locations on the Index trade chart, designated as point A and point B (representing swing highs).

Then using RSI we study the highs made and created by the RSI tool, these highs are right below the Trade Chart spots A and B.

We then draw one line on the trade chart & another line on the RSI indicator.

LH= Lower High- two highs but the last one is lower

HL=Higher Low- 2 lows but the last one is higher

LL= Lower Low- 2 lows but the last one is lower
