### 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. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/oscillators/momentum-concepts/divergences.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. 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.
