Divergences

TL;DR

Divergences in Market Cipher B are drawn as lines connecting momentum swing points that conflict with price swing points. A bullish divergence (green line) forms when price makes a lower low but the oscillator makes a higher low — signalling weakening bearish momentum. Bearish divergences (red) signal the opposite.

How It Works

  1. 1

    A divergence occurs when price and the momentum indicator (Wave Fast / Money Flow) move in opposite directions — disagreement between price action and underlying strength.

  2. 2

    Bullish Regular Divergence: price prints a lower low, but the oscillator prints a higher low — selling momentum is fading, reversal probable.

  3. 3

    Bearish Regular Divergence: price prints a higher high, but the oscillator prints a lower high — buying momentum is fading, reversal probable.

  4. 4

    Hidden Bullish Divergence: price prints a higher low, oscillator prints a lower low — trend continuation to the upside is likely.

  5. 5

    Hidden Bearish Divergence: price prints a lower high, oscillator prints a higher high — trend continuation to the downside is likely.

  6. 6

    MCB draws coloured lines between the two pivot points (both on price and on the oscillator) to make divergences visually immediate.

LiquidMind AI Context

Divergence detection is one of LiquidMind's highest-conviction overlay signals. When a bullish regular divergence coincides with a POI (e.g., EQL or Breaker Block), the system assigns a maximum confidence boost to the entry signal. The AI engine uses the Wave Fast oscillator as the divergence measurement surface, comparing momentum highs/lows across the last 5–20 bars. Only divergences confirmed by a follow-through displacement candle are stored and acted upon — unconfirmed divergences are flagged as 'watch alerts' only.
