RSI Indicator Divergence Trade Setups

Divergence is one of the trade set-ups used by traders. It involves looking at a chart & one more technical indicator. For our example we shall use the RSI.

To spot this xauusd divergence trading set up find two chart points at which xauusd price makes a new swing high or a new swing low but the RSI indicator does not, indicating a divergence between xauusd price and momentum.

RSI Divergence Example:

In the chart below we identify two points, point A and point B (swing highs)

Then using RSI indicator we check the highs made by the trading RSI, these are the highs that are directly below the Chart points A and B.

We then draw one line on the chart and another line on the RSI indicator.
