# Divergences

Divergences identify the subtle mismatch between Price and Momentum, often signaling an upcoming trend reversal.

### Detection Logic

The indicator automatically scans for **Regular Divergences** using the internal Momentum Wave (MW1) values:

1. **Regular Bullish Divergence**:
   * Price makes a **Lower Low**.
   * Momentum Wave makes a **Higher Low**.
   * Indicates that selling pressure is weakening even though price is falling.
2. **Regular Bearish Divergence**:
   * Price makes a **Higher High**.
   * Momentum Wave makes a **Lower High**.
   * Indicates that buying pressure is exhausting even though price is rising.

### Visual Clues

* **Green Line**: A bullish divergence has been detected between two pivot points.
* **Orange Line**: A bearish divergence has been detected between two pivot points.

### Settings

You can adjust the **Pivot Length** and **Range** in the settings to filter for long-term or short-term divergences. Longer ranges typically provide more significant signals.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/oscillators/momentum-concepts/divergences.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
