RSI Divergence Scanner by zdmreDivergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
If the stock is rising and making new highs, ideally the RSI is reaching new highs as well. If the stock is making new highs, but the RSI starts making lower highs, this warns the price uptrend may be weakening. This is negative divergence.
Positive divergence is the opposite situation. Imagine the price of a stock is making new lows while the RSI makes higher lows with each swing in the stock price. Investors may conclude that the lower lows in the stock price are losing their downward momentum and a trend reversal may soon follow.
Divergence is one of the common uses of many technical indicators, primarily the oscillators.

Divergences in 52 Week Moving Averages, Adjusted and SmoothedThis script description is intended to be holistic and comprehensive for the understanding of the interested parties who view the script.
Following the PineCoders suggestions, I have provided detailed breakdowns both within the code and in the description immediately below:
► Description
This description is intended to be detailed and meaningful, conveying the understanding of the script’s intention to the user:
The theory: Divergences and extreme readings in 52-Week highs on major indexes can provide a view into a potential pending move in the opposite direction of how the market has been trending. By comparing the 52-Week Hi/Lo indices and applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), we can assess how extreme a move is from the average. If the move provides an extreme reading, it would potentially be beneficial to “fade” the move (take a position in the opposing direction).
The intention: The intentionality of this script is to provide a visualization of when the highly-probable opportunity to fade over a multi-day or multi-week period arises. In addition to this, based on backtesting prior moves and reading the various levels of significant reversals, three tiers: “Standard”, “Sensitive”, and “Highly Sensitive” have been applied, the user can choose which sensitivity level they would like to see, there are far less false positives on the Standard and Sensitive settings, while Highly Sensitive often signals multiple times with the move coming a few days later.
The application: The settings allow the user to customize their sensitivity to the fade signals, with the ability to customize the visual that shows up as well. For higher-highs that are fade-worthy, the signal will appear on the top of the candle, for lower-lows that are fade-worthy, the signal will appear on the bottom of the candle. The users risk criteria should be the primary driver of the entry/exit, although when backtesting it appears that the significant move is typically completed within a 2-4 week period at max and 3-5 day period at minimum.
A personal note: I am a futures trader intraday but would very strongly caution users when using this strategy with futures (unless their risk tolerance is higher than most). The most beneficial strategy when fading moves would be to enter in tranches, starting at the first signal and adding on any pullback (as long as the pullback is not below the initial entry point). 1-6 Week Date-To-Expiry options would be the primary method for applying this strategy. I would also like to add that SPY/SPX options (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust / CBOE S&P 500 Index) are the most liquid options that could be applied in this strategy.
► Description (additional)
With the understanding that few users can read pinescript (Pine), the description above contains all of the necessary information that is necessary for a user to understand the intention for script utilization. For those who do understand Pine, the code is commented in each section in order to provide an understanding of the underlying functions, calculations, and thought process that went on during the writing of the script.
► Description (additional)
This script’s description contains no delegations, all aspects of the script as well as the initial idea behind it are contained in the description above, which is self-contained in it’s entirety with a clear and defined purpose that is written with the intent to holistically capture the intent of the potential use for this indicator.

Divergence Macro Sentiment Indicator (DMSI)The Divergence Macro Sentiment Indicator (DMSI)
Think of DMSI as your daily “mood ring” for the markets. It boils down the tug-of-war between growth assets (S&P 500, copper, oil) and safe havens (gold, VIX) into one clear histogram—so you instantly know if the bulls have broad backing or are charging ahead with one foot tied behind.
🔍 What You’re Seeing
Green bars (above zero): Risk-on conviction.
Equities and commodities are rallying while gold and volatility retreat.
Red bars (below zero): Risk-off caution.
Gold or VIX are climbing even as stocks rise—or stocks aren’t fully joined by oil/copper.
Zero line: The line in the sand between “full-steam ahead” and “proceed with care.”
📈 How to Read It
Cross-Zero Signals
Bullish trigger: DMSI flips up through zero after a red stretch → fresh long entries.
Bearish trigger: DMSI tumbles below zero from green territory → tighten stops or go defensive.
Divergence Warnings
If SPX makes new highs but DMSI is rolling over (lower green bars or red), that’s your early red flag—rallies may fizzle.
Strength Confirmation
On pullbacks, only buy dips when DMSI ≥ 0. When DMSI is deeply positive, you can be more aggressive on position size or add leverage.
💡 Trade Guidance & Use Cases
Trend Filter: Only take your S&P or sector-ETF long setups when DMSI is non-negative—avoids hollow rallies.
Macro Pair Trades:
Deep red DMSI: go long gold or gold miners (GLD, GDX).
Strong green DMSI: lean into cyclicals, industrials, even energy names.
Risk Management:
Scale out as DMSI fades into negative territory mid-trade.
Scale in or add to winners when it stays bullish.
Swing Confirmation: Overlay on any oscillator or price-pattern system—accept signals only when the macro tide is flowing in your favour.
🚀 Why It Works
Markets don’t move in a vacuum. When stocks rally but the “real-economy” metals and volatility aren’t cooperating, something’s off under the hood. DMSI catches those cross-asset cracks before price alone can—and gives you an early warning system for smarter entries, tighter risk, and bigger gains when the macro trend really kicks in.

Turbo Oscillator [RunRox]Introducing Turbo Oscillator by RunRox, our new indicator that combines a multitude of useful and unique features, which we will detail in this post.
List of Advanced Technologies:
Real-Time Divergences: Detects discrepancies between price movements and oscillator indicators to forecast potential price reversals.
Real-Time Hidden Divergences: We identify hidden divergences in real-time. These are not the standard type of divergences; they are opposite to regular divergences, providing unique insights into potential market movements.
Overbought and Oversold Zones: Identifies areas where the market is potentially overextended, suggesting possible entry and exit points.
Signal Line: Indicates the market direction, helping traders to quickly understand current trends.
Money Flow Histogram: Shows the flow of money into and out of the market, providing insights into buying and selling pressure.
Predicted Reversal Zones: Pinpoints areas where the market might experience reversals, aiding in strategic planning and risk management. These zones also serve as potential areas for taking profits, enhancing their utility for exit strategy planning.
Customizable Alerts: You can flexibly set up alerts for any events detected by our indicator, ensuring you stay informed about critical market movements.
To begin with, I would like to describe the difference between classic divergences and hidden divergences.
As you can see, these are opposite situations. Our oscillator identifies both types of divergences and displays them in real-time.
Divergences can serve as points where the price might reverse in the opposite direction, making both classic and hidden divergences powerful tools for spotting reversal points. I'll show a few examples of how divergences are used in our oscillator.
Classic Divergences - which we identify in real-time. As you can see, the price often reacts strongly to the formation of these divergences, frequently changing its direction.
Hidden Divergences - we also observe frequent movement in the opposite direction on the chart. The advantage of our indicator is that we show divergences in real-time without delays, allowing you to react immediately to trend changes.
Overbought and Oversold Zones - These zones allow you to see trend changes when the price is clearly overbought or oversold. When the color changes from a contrasting shade to a neutral one, you can observe the trend shift. The lines work by combining the positivity/negativity of the histogram, the positivity/negativity of the signal line, and the direction of the signal line (red/green). This sophisticated interaction provides precise insights into market conditions, making it an invaluable tool for traders.
Signal Line - This provides insights into trend changes and price reversals. The points on the line better indicate the beginning of a trend shift. These points can vary in size, offering a clearer understanding of the strength of the emerging trend. This feature works in combination with RSI, Stochastic, and MFI. RSI and MFI are top-tier indicators, while Stochastic adds responsiveness and sensitivity to trend changes, ensuring you capture every market movement accurately and promptly.
Money Flow Histogram - As shown in the example, our histogram displays the divergence between money flow and the actual price. You can see that while the price is rising, the money flow is decreasing, indicating insufficient demand for the asset and an imminent trend change. This feature uses MFI with an extended period, providing a more comprehensive and accurate analysis of market conditions. The extended period enhances the reliability of the Money Flow Index, making it an essential tool for identifying subtle shifts in market dynamics.
Predicted Reversal Zones - We automatically identify potential price reversal zones and display them above our overbought and oversold zones. In cases of strong overbought or oversold conditions, we detect potential price pullbacks and mark the beginning of a trend change. This helps you better identify trend shifts. We recommend considering these zones as potential take profit points for your trades.
Customizable Alerts - Our flexible alert system allows you to receive notifications only for the events you are interested in. These can include:
1. Classic Divergences
2. Hidden Divergences
3. Overbought or Oversold conditions on the status line
4. Strong Overbought or Oversold conditions on the status line
5. Signals from the signal line
6. Reversal zones in any direction
Our oscillator is a unique indicator that provides a comprehensive understanding of price movements. It can be used as a standalone tool for analyzing price action.
Here are a few examples of using our Oscillator in practice:
In the example above, you can see three conditions that have formed for a potential trade:
1. Clear overbought condition with a formed reversal point.
2. Decreasing Money Flow Index diverging from the rising price.
3. Formed classic divergence.
The entry point could be the formed divergence, while the exit point could be the overbought condition at the bottom of the oscillator along with the reversal points.
Here's another example of using hidden divergence, where you can see three conditions for a potential trade:
1. Overbought zone
2. Formed hidden divergence
3. Start of bearish movement indicated by the signal line
You can enter the trade either when the hidden divergence forms or wait for confirmation of the trend change by the signal line and enter the trade when the corresponding signal forms on the signal line. The exit point could be the opposite reversal point or the formation of a new hidden divergence.
We have demonstrated a few examples of how you can use our indicator, but we are confident that you will find many more applications in your own strategies.
Oscillator offers a variety of customizable parameters to tailor the indicator to your trading preferences. Here’s what our settings include:

Overheat Oscillator with DivergenceIndicator Description
The Overheat Oscillator with Divergence is an advanced technical indicator designed for the TradingView platform, assisting traders in identifying potential market reversal points by analyzing price momentum and volume, as well as detecting divergences. The indicator combines trend strength assessment with signal smoothing to provide clear indications of market overheat or oversold conditions. An optional divergence detection feature allows for the identification of discrepancies between price movement and the oscillator's value, which may signal upcoming trend changes.
The indicator is displayed in a separate panel below the price chart and offers visual cues through a color gradient, horizontal reference lines, and a dynamic market sentiment table. Users can customize numerous parameters, such as calculation periods, sentiment thresholds, line colors, and visualization styles, making the indicator a versatile tool for various trading strategies.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator is based on the following key components:
Oscillator Calculations
The indicator analyzes price candles, assigning a score based on their nature. A bullish candle (when the closing price is higher than the opening price) receives a score of +1.0, while a bearish candle (when the closing price is lower than the opening price) receives a score of -1.0. This scoring reflects the strength of price movement over a given period.
The score is modified by a volume multiplier (default: 2.0) if the candle's volume exceeds the volume's simple moving average (SMA, default: calculated over 20 candles). This ensures that candles with higher volume have a greater impact on the oscillator's value, better capturing significant market movements driven by increased trading activity. For example, a bullish candle with high volume may receive a score of +2.0 instead of +1.0, amplifying the bullish signal.
The scores are summed over a specified number of candles (default: 20), normalized to a 0–100 range, and then smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA, default: 5 periods) to reduce noise and improve signal clarity.
Color Gradient
The oscillator's values are visualized using a color gradient that changes based on the oscillator's level:
Green: Market cooldown (values below the Gradient Min threshold).
Yellow: Neutral sentiment (values between Gradient Min and Gradient Yellow).
Orange: Elevated activity (values between Gradient Yellow and Gradient Orange).
Red: Market overheat (values above Gradient Orange).
The color gradient is applied as the background in the oscillator panel, facilitating quick assessment of market sentiment.
Reference Levels
The indicator displays customizable horizontal lines for key thresholds (e.g., Overheat Threshold, Oversold Threshold, Gradient Min, Yellow, Orange, Max). These lines are visible only at the height of the last few oscillator candles, preventing chart clutter and helping users focus on current values.
Users can also define three custom horizontal lines with selectable styles (solid, dotted, dashed) and colors. These lines serve as auxiliary tools, e.g., for marking personal support/resistance levels, but do not affect the oscillator's signals or background colors.
Market Sentiment
The indicator displays sentiment labels in a table located in the top-right corner of the panel, dynamically updating based on the oscillator's value:
Cooled: Values below Gradient Yellow (default: 35).
Neutral: Values between Gradient Yellow and Gradient Orange (default: 60).
Excited: Values between Gradient Orange and Overheat Threshold (default: 70).
Overheated: Values above Overheat Threshold (default: 70).
The Overheat Threshold and Oversold Threshold are critical for displaying the "Overheated" and "Cooled" labels in the sentiment table, enabling users to quickly identify extreme market conditions. The labels update when key thresholds are crossed, and their colors match the oscillator's gradient.
Divergence Detection
The indicator offers optional detection of regular bullish and bearish divergences:
Bullish Divergence: Occurs when the price forms a lower low, but the oscillator forms a higher low, suggesting a weakening downtrend.
Bearish Divergence: Occurs when the price forms a higher high, but the oscillator forms a lower high, suggesting a weakening uptrend.
Divergences are marked on the chart with labels ("Bull" for bullish, "Bear" for bearish) and lines indicating pivot points. They are calculated with a delay equal to the Lookback Right setting (default: 5 candles), meaning signals appear after pivot confirmation in the specified lookback period. The indicator also generates alerts for users when a divergence is detected.
Indicator Settings
Main Settings (SETTINGS)
Period Length: Specifies the number of candles used for oscillator calculations (default: 20).
Volume SMA Period: The period for the volume's simple moving average (default: 20).
Volume Multiplier: Multiplier applied to candle scores when volume exceeds the average (default: 2.0).
SMA Length: The period for smoothing the oscillator with a simple moving average (default: 5).
Thresholds (THRESHOLDS)
Overheat Threshold: Level indicating market overheat (default: 70). This value determines when the sentiment table displays the "Overheated" label, signaling a potential peak in an uptrend.
Oversold Threshold: Level indicating market cooldown (default: 30). This value determines when the sentiment table displays the "Cooled" label, signaling a potential bottom in a downtrend.
Gradient Min (Green): Lower threshold for the green gradient (default: 20).
Gradient Yellow Threshold: Threshold for the yellow gradient (default: 35).
Gradient Orange Threshold: Threshold for the orange gradient (default: 60).
Gradient Max (Red): Upper threshold for the red gradient (default: 70).
Visualization (VISUALIZATION)
Signal Line Color: Color of the oscillator line (default: dark red, RGB(5, 0, 0)).
Show Reference Lines: Enables/disables the display of threshold lines (default: enabled).
Divergence Settings (DIVERGENCE SETTINGS)
Calculate Divergence: Enables/disables divergence detection (default: disabled).
Lookback Right: Number of candles back for pivot analysis (default: 5).
Lookback Left: Number of candles to the left for pivot analysis (default: 5).
Line Style (STYLE)
Custom Line 1, 2, 3 Value: Levels for custom horizontal lines (default: 70, 50, 30).
Custom Line 1, 2, 3 Color: Colors for custom lines (default: black, RGB(0, 0, 0)).
Custom Line 1, 2, 3 Style: Line styles (solid, dotted, dashed; default: dashed, dotted, dashed).
How to Use the Indicator
Adding to the Chart
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart by searching for "Overheat Oscillator with Divergence."
Configure the settings according to your trading strategy.
Signal Interpretation
Overheated: Values above the Overheat Threshold (default: 70) in the sentiment table may indicate a potential uptrend peak.
Cooled: Values below the Oversold Threshold (default: 30) in the sentiment table may suggest a potential downtrend bottom.
Divergences:
Bullish: Look for "Bull" labels on the chart, indicating potential upward reversals (calculated with a Lookback Right delay).
Bearish: Look for "Bear" labels, indicating potential downward reversals (calculated with a Lookback Right delay).
Customization
Experiment with settings such as period length, volume multiplier, or gradient thresholds to tailor the indicator to your trading style (e.g., scalping, medium-term trading).
Usage Examples
Scalping: Set a shorter period (e.g., Period Length = 10, SMA Length = 3) and monitor rapid sentiment changes and divergences on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-minute charts).
Medium-Term Trading: Use default settings or increase Period Length (e.g., 30) and SMA Length (e.g., 7) for more stable signals on hourly or daily charts.
Reversal Detection: Enable divergence detection and observe "Bull" or "Bear" labels in conjunction with overheat/cooled levels in the sentiment table.
Notes
The indicator performs best when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as support/resistance lines, moving averages, or Fibonacci levels.
Divergences may serve as early signals but do not always guarantee immediate trend reversals—confirmation with other indicators is recommended.
Test different settings on historical data to find the optimal configuration for your chosen market and timeframe.
Dual Volume Divergence LineDual Volume Divergence Line (DVD/Line)
🔹 Overview
The Dual Volume Divergence Line (DVD/Line) is a custom Pine Script™ indicator designed to identify potential trend reversals and continuations by analyzing volume and price divergences. This script is inspired by the original concept of the Dual Volume Divergence Index (DVDI) by DonovanWall and has been modified and enhanced by keremertem. Special thanks to DonovanWall for the original concept. The indicator combines volume-based calculations with price action to generate signals for bullish and bearish divergences, both normal and hidden. Below is a detailed breakdown of its components and functionality.
🔹 Key Features of the DVD/Line Indicator
1. Dual Volume Divergence Calculation:
- The indicator calculates two primary volume-based indices: the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and the Negative Volume Index (NVI).
- PVI measures the impact of volume on price when the price increases, while NVI measures the impact when the price decreases.
- These indices are used to detect divergences between volume and price, which can signal potential reversals or continuations.
2. Customizable Inputs:
- DVD Sampling Period: Adjusts the sensitivity of the indicator by controlling the lookback period for calculating the volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA) of PVI and NVI.
- Band Width: Defines the range for calculating the upper and lower bands, which act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
- Source: Allows users to select the price source (e.g., `hlc3`, `close`, etc.) for calculations.
3. Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA):
- Instead of using traditional moving averages, the script employs VWMA to smooth the PVI and NVI signals. This ensures that the indicator is more responsive to changes in volume.
4. Upper and Lower Bands:
- The upper and lower bands are calculated using the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the highest and lowest values of the DVD line over a user-defined period. These bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions.
5. Divergence Detection:
- The script identifies four types of divergences:
- Normal Bullish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a lower low, but the DVD line makes a higher low.
- Hidden Bullish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a higher low, but the DVD line makes a lower low.
- Normal Bearish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a higher high, but the DVD line makes a lower high.
- Hidden Bearish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a lower high, but the DVD line makes a higher high.
- These divergences are visually highlighted on the chart using labels.
6. Customizable Divergence Selection:
- Users can choose between two types of divergence calculations:
- DVDI: Based on the raw divergence values.
- DVD Line: Based on the smoothed DVD line.
7. Visual Enhancements:
- The DVD line is plotted with a color-coded scheme: blue when the DVD line is above its signal line (bullish) and pink when it is below (bearish).
- The upper and lower bands are displayed as step lines, making it easier to identify key levels.
🔹 How the Indicator Works
1. Volume-Based Calculations:
- The script starts by calculating the PVI and NVI based on the selected price source and volume data.
- PVI increases when the price rises, while NVI decreases when the price falls. These indices are then smoothed using VWMA to generate signals.
2. DVD Line Calculation:
- The DVD line is derived by combining the divergences of PVI and NVI. It is further smoothed using a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) and a linear regression line for trend analysis.
3. Divergence Detection:
- The script identifies pivot points in the DVD line and compares them with price action to detect divergences.
- Normal divergences indicate potential reversals, while hidden divergences suggest trend continuations.
4. Dynamic Bands:
- The upper and lower bands are calculated using RMS, which provides a more accurate representation of volatility compared to standard deviation or fixed-width bands.
5. Labeling:
- Divergences are labeled directly on the chart with clear text and color coding:
🟢 Bullish Divergence: Green label with "Bull".
🟩 Bearish Divergence: Red label with "Bear".
🔴 Hidden Bullish Divergence: Lime label with "hid.".
🟧 Hidden Bearish Divergence: Orange label with "hid.".
🔹 Unique Aspects of This Script
1. Volume-Weighted Smoothing:
- Unlike traditional divergence indicators that rely on simple moving averages, this script uses VWMA and WMA to ensure that volume plays a significant role in signal generation.
2. Dynamic Bands with RMS:
- The use of RMS for calculating bands provides a more adaptive and accurate representation of market conditions, especially in volatile markets.
3. Flexible Divergence Selection:
- Users can choose between raw divergence values (DVDI) or smoothed values (DVD Line), allowing for greater customization based on trading style.
4. Comprehensive Divergence Detection:
- The script detects both normal and hidden divergences, providing a complete picture of potential trend reversals and continuations.
5. User-Friendly Visuals:
- The color-coded DVD line and cross-style bands make it easy to interpret the indicator at a glance.
🔹 How to Use the Indicator
1. Trend Identification:
- Use the Middle Band and its color to identify the current trend. A green line suggests bullish momentum, while a red line indicates bearish momentum. Additionally, a bullish momentum may be indicated when the DVD line crosses up, and a bearish momentum may be indicated when it crosses down the Middle Band.
2. Divergence Trading:
- Look for divergences between the DVD line and price action. Normal divergences can be used for counter-trend trades, while hidden divergences can confirm trend continuations.
3. Band Breakouts:
- Monitor the upper and lower bands for potential breakout or reversal signals. A break above the upper band may indicate overbought conditions, while a break below the lower band may suggest oversold conditions.
4. Customization:
- Adjust the sampling period and band width to suit different timeframes and trading strategies. Shorter periods are more sensitive, while longer periods provide smoother signals.
🔹 Conclusion
The Dual Volume Divergence Line (DVD/Line) is a powerful and versatile indicator that combines volume analysis with price action to generate actionable trading signals. Its unique use of volume-weighted smoothing, dynamic bands, and comprehensive divergence detection sets it apart from traditional divergence indicators. Whether you're a day trader or a long-term investor, this tool can help you identify high-probability trading opportunities with greater accuracy and confidence.

Standard Deviation of Returns: DivergencePurpose:
The "Standard Deviation of Returns: Divergence" indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals or continuation signals by analyzing divergences between price action and the statistical volatility of returns. Divergences can signal weakening momentum in the prevailing trend, offering insight into potential buying or selling opportunities.
Key Components
1. Returns Calculation:
* The indicator uses logarithmic returns (log(close / close )) to measure relative price changes in a normalized manner.
* Log returns are more effective than simple price differences when analyzing data across varying price levels, as they account for percentage-based changes.
2. Standard Deviation of Returns:
* The script computes the standard deviation of returns over a user-defined lookback period (ta.stdev(returns, lookback)).
* Standard deviation measures the dispersion of returns around their average, effectively quantifying market volatility.
* A higher standard deviation indicates increased volatility, while lower standard deviation reflects a calmer market.
3. Price Action:
* Detects higher highs (new peaks in price) and lower lows (new troughs in price) over the lookback period.
* Price trends are compared to the behavior of the standard deviation.
4. Divergence Detection:
A divergence occurs when price action (higher highs or lower lows) is not confirmed by a corresponding movement in standard deviation:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but the standard deviation does not, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but the standard deviation does not, signaling potential downward momentum.
5. Visual Cues:
The script highlights divergence regions directly on the chart:
Green Background: Indicates a bullish divergence (potential buy signal).
Red Background: Indicates a bearish divergence (potential sell signal).

* The user specifies the lookback period (lookback) for calculating the standard deviation and detecting divergences.
Calculation:
* Each bar’s returns are computed and used to calculate the standard deviation over the specified lookback period.
* The indicator evaluates price highs/lows and compares these with the highest and lowest values of the standard deviation within the same lookback period.
Highlight of Divergences:
When divergences are detected:
Bullish Divergence: The background of the chart is shaded green.
Bearish Divergence: The background of the chart is shaded red.
Trading Application
Bullish Divergence:
* Occurs when the market is oversold, or downward momentum is weakening.
* Suggests a potential reversal to an uptrend, signaling a buying opportunity.
Bearish Divergence:
* Occurs when the market is overbought, or upward momentum is weakening.
* Suggests a potential reversal to a downtrend, signaling a selling opportunity.
Contextual Use:
* Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical tools like RSI, MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
* Effective in volatile or ranging markets to help anticipate shifts in momentum.
