Stochastic Oscillator Bullish Divergence and Bearish Divergence Gold Trading

Divergence gold trading is one of the trading signals that can be generated when using the stochastic oscillator xauusd indicator.

Divergence gold trading is a signal that a rally or retracement is losing steam and is likely to reverse. It means that the last buyers or last sellers are pushing the xauusd price in one way while the majority of other traders have stopped trading in that direction and are cautious of a xauusd price correction or retracement.

There are four types of divergence trading setups

Example 1: Classic XAUUSD Bullish Divergence

A Gold Trading Classic Bullish Divergence in the stochastic indicator and the xauusd price is followed by a rise in xauusd price.

When the xauusd price is making new lows the Stochastic indicator is not moving past its previous lows it is an indication that the downward trend is about to reverse and a bullish gold trading rally is likely to occur.

In the xauusd trading example above the xauusd price set a new low but it was not coupled with a new low in the measure of Stochastic oscillator indicator, when price formed a new low then the stochastic gold indicator should have followed suit, but the stochastic indicator did not therefore the gold trading classic divergence trade setup.

XAUUSD classic divergence trading setup is even stronger because there is combination of a divergence trade setup and then followed by a rise above the 20% indicator level. This combines the Overbought and Oversold levels with this xauusd divergence trade setup.

Example 2: Classic XAUUSD Bearish Divergence

A Classic Gold Bearish Divergence trading setup in the stochastic oscillator xauusd technical indicator and the xauusd price is followed by a drop in xauusd price.

Stochastic Oscillator Indicator Classic Gold Bearish Divergence

When xauusd price is making new highs but the Stochastic oscillator indicator is not moving beyond its previous high it is an indication the upward trend will reverse and that a gold trading bearish divergence trade set-up will follow.

This classic gold trading bearish divergence trade setup is even stronger because there is a combination of a xauusd divergence with a dip below the overbought 80 level.

Example 3: Hidden XAUUSD Bullish Divergence

Hidden Gold Bullish Divergence trade setup signifies a retracement in an up-ward xauusd trend. This trade hidden divergence trading setup is the best type of trade divergence setup to trade, because you aren't trading a xauusd price reversal, but you are trading within the direction of the trend.

Even though, the stochastic oscillator indicator made a lower low the xauusd price low was higher than the previous low (higher low). This means that even though the gold sellers made a good attempt to push xauusd price down as indicated by the stochastic indicator, this wasn't reflected on the xauusd price, and the xauusd price did not make a new low. This is the best place to open a buy trade, since it's even in an up-ward trend there is no need to wait for a confirmation trading signal, because you're buying in an up-ward trend.

Example 4: Hidden XAUUSD Bearish Divergence
