Bullische und bärische Divergenz: wenn das Momentum dem Preis widerspricht

The four cases

Bullish regular: price prints a lower low, oscillator prints a higher low. Selling momentum is exhausting even though price is still falling.

Bearish regular: price prints a higher high, oscillator prints a lower high. Buying momentum is exhausting even though price is still rising.

Hidden divergences (price prints a higher low but oscillator prints a lower low, or vice versa) are continuation signals in trends, not reversals. The terminology is confusing; regular divergence is the strong-signal case.

Why it works (and when it fails)

Oscillators measure rate of change. A trend that's losing rate of change is structurally vulnerable. The divergence shows up first in the oscillator because the oscillator is more sensitive to slope than the chart eye.

Failure mode: in strong trends, divergence can persist for many cycles. RSI prints lower highs against a roaring uptrend for months. Divergence is a warning, not a timing tool.

How Signodex uses divergence

Signodex flags RSI and MACD divergence against price on the chart window. The AI Signal characterises it explicitly ("RSI has printed a lower high while price has printed a higher high — bearish regular divergence on the 4-hour chart") and pairs it with the trend context.
