❖ FAQ’s

1. What is divergence?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite
direction of a technical indicator, such as RSI.
2. Where should we draw the line on RSI in Bullish divergence?
We should draw the line from below indicating support in Bullish
divergence.
3. Where should we draw the line on RSI in Bearish divergence?
We should draw the line from the top indicating resistance in Bearish
divergence.
4. What Time frame should we look at for RSI divergence?
In intraday trading, we should look for RSI divergence in 5 minutes
and 15 minutes Time frame only. Bigger time frame divergence
works very slow.
5. Which divergence works better? 5 minutes or 15 minutes Time
frame?
15 minutes RSI divergence will have higher chances of working than
5 minutes RSI divergence as it is a bigger time frame and it can give
bigger moves.
6. What should we consider while drawing trendlines when
spotting RSI Divergences? Body or Wicks of the candle?
We must always connect body of the candles in such cases.
