Now, let’s get into lesson 11 of "how to become a cryptotrader!"
In this podcast episode, we’ll discuss divergences in the world of trading. Divergences occur when the price of an asset and a momentum indicator, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), send conflicting signals.
- The RSI is an indicator that shows whether an asset is overbought or oversold.
- It measures the momentum of price changes and ranges between 0 and 100.
- An RSI value below 30 suggests that an asset is oversold, while a value above 70 suggests it is overbought.
Typically, the price and the RSI move in the same direction. When this is not the case, and a discrepancy arises, we call it a divergence. These divergences can be bullish or bearish and are used to identify potential market reversal points.
We’ll cover different types of divergences, such as strong, medium, and weak bullish/bearish divergences, as well as hidden bullish/bearish divergences. Additionally, we’ll look at examples of how you can use divergences to spot trading opportunities.
