What is RSI Divergence?

This endpoint scans for all four RSI divergence types at once. A regular divergence is price and RSI disagreeing at a new extreme, suggesting a possible reversal. A hidden divergence suggests a trend continuing. Results include the RSI value.

RSI Divergence formula

Output	Calculation
Pivots	RSI swing points confirmed with `lbL` candles to the left and `lbR` to the right
Range	Consecutive pivots must be between `rangeLower` and `rangeUpper` candles apart

How to read RSI Divergence in your code

Signal	Meaning	Condition
Regular bullish	Lower price low, higher RSI low	New entries in `bull`
Regular bearish	Higher price high, lower RSI high	New entries in `bear`
Hidden bullish	Higher price low, lower RSI low	New entries in `hiddenBull`
Hidden bearish	Lower price high, higher RSI high	New entries in `hiddenBear`

Limitations: Confirmation needs lbR candles to the right of the pivot, so a divergence is only reported after that delay. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
