RSI Divergence - Left Candles Only

How it works

The RSI Divergence indicator compares price action with the Relative Strength Index by tracking pivot points and analyzing momentum shifts. It calculates a 14-period RSI that oscillates between 0 and 100, identifying overbought and oversold conditions.

When price makes a new high or low that doesn't align with corresponding RSI movement, a potential divergence signal is generated. The script examines lookback periods to confirm these divergences, plotting green labels for bullish signals and red labels for bearish signals when specific momentum and price conditions are met.

Why it may be useful

RSI Divergence provides traders with a powerful tool to anticipate potential trend reversals before they occur in the market. By revealing hidden momentum shifts, traders can identify moments when price movement might be losing steam or preparing to change direction.

The indicator helps traders make more informed decisions by highlighting discrepancies between price action and underlying market momentum. This can provide early warning signs of potential trend changes, allowing traders to adjust their strategies proactively and potentially enter or exit trades at more advantageous moments.

When to explore it

RSI Divergence works best in volatile markets with clear trending or ranging price movements. Traders should use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and reduce false positives.

The indicator is particularly effective when markets show significant price swings and when momentum seems to be diverging from price action. Traders should pay special attention to divergence signals in timeframes that match their trading strategy, whether scalping, day trading, or swing trading.
