A powerful divergence engine that grades every RSI divergence by strength, context, and confluence — helping you filter noise and focus only on the highest-probability reversal setups.
This script combines RSI divergences with five confirmation layers to produce confidence-weighted signals, clearer trade decisions, and alert-ready setups for both bullish and bearish reversals.
What This Indicator Detects
- Bullish Divergence → Price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low
- Bearish Divergence → Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high
Confirmation Factors (Each Adds +1 to the Score)
- Volume Spike: Above-average volume on the divergence bar
- Trend Alignment: Divergence occurs in harmony with higher-timeframe trend dynamics
- Key Level Proximity: Price tests significant support or resistance
- Momentum Extremes: RSI reaches oversold/overbought thresholds
- Candle Reversal Pattern: Engulfing, pin bar, or similar reversal structure
Confidence Scoring
- 1–2 → Low Confidence (gray)
- 3 → Medium Confidence (yellow)
- 4–5 → High Confidence (green/red)
Higher scores = higher-probability setups.
Visual Components
- RSI plot with dynamic gradient coloring
- Divergence lines mapped to RSI pivots
- Signal labels showing confidence + factors
- Background highlighting for high-confidence events
- Real-time confidence meter for active bar conditions
- Optional data table for factor-by-factor breakdown
Alerts Included
- High-confidence bullish & bearish divergences
- Medium-confidence signals
- Any divergence meeting your minimum threshold
Best Practices
- Prioritize setups with 4 or 5 confirmations
- Use higher timeframes (4H, 1D, 1W) for more reliable signals
- Combine with market structure and price action (S/R, HTF trend, liquidity zones)
- Counter-trend divergences require stronger scores to validate
Final Notes
This script focuses on clarity, risk reduction, and selective trade timing. The confidence system helps distinguish weak divergences from high-probability reversal conditions — giving traders a structured, repeatable edge.
