What formed

Momentum divergence is a two-part pattern where price prints a new high or low but a momentum oscillator like RSI fails to confirm with a corresponding new extreme. The mismatch signals that the visible price move is not being supported by underlying momentum.

It forms when two consecutive prominent price pivots disagree with two corresponding pivots on the momentum oscillator. Bullish: lower price low, higher momentum low. Bearish: higher price high, lower momentum high.

Key levels

Backtested divergence outcomes, book early management, both direction. Net of 0.12% round-trip fees. Rows with n < 20 shown greyed. Methodology

How we compute this

Fixed 2% risk per trade; position size comes from the distance to invalidation. Returns are non-compounded (a flat 2% risk each time), reported net of a 0.12% round-trip fee. Rows below 20 historical instances are surfaced as directional, not conclusive.

How this pattern behaves

Divergence works best as confluence with a structural reaction level, not as a standalone trigger. We measure how often divergence at key levels actually leads to a reversal.
