# Divergence Detection The **Divergence Detection** feature enhances the oscillator’s predictive capabilities by identifying areas where momentum diverges from price movement, which often signals reversals: {% embed url="" %} Divergence Detection {% endembed %} *** ## **Normal Divergence** **Normal Bearish** and **Normal Bullish** divergences show when momentum weakens against the current trend direction, hinting at potential trend reversals. In a **normal bearish divergence**, price makes a higher high while the oscillator makes a lower high, suggesting that bullish momentum is weakening, which could precede a downward reversal.

Conversely, a **normal bullish divergence** occurs when price makes a lower low, but the oscillator makes a higher low, signaling a potential upward reversal. Traders can use these divergences to anticipate reversals and adjust positions accordingly.

*** ## **Hidden Divergence** **Hidden Bearish** and **Hidden Bullish** divergences suggest trend continuation, revealing underlying strength in the current trend despite minor pullbacks or rallies. **A hidden bullish divergence** occurs when price makes a higher low but the oscillator makes a higher low, suggesting the uptrend is likely to continue.

Similarly, a **hidden bearish divergence** suggests the downtrend will continue if the oscillator shows a lower high while price makes a lower high, confirming downward strength.

{% hint style="info" %} Traders can use hidden divergences to confirm that a trend remains strong and look for entries aligned with the current trend. {% endhint %} *** ## **Multiple Divergence** Signals when multiple divergence events occur consecutively, adding higher confluence to potential reversals or continuation zones.

This helps traders quantify the strength of accumulated momentum dissonance before a major move. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
