Divergences

[____________]

I have a doubt, in MACD or other indicator with zero line, what happens when market makes a new high but the indicator fails to make a new higher peak, insteadd it's behing zero line, its still a divergence? its weaker or stronger than when indicator makes the (in this case) peak up the zero line.
heres the example

Divergence Response

Private,

Divergence, IMHO, is viewed subjectively. However, if this aids in your understanding:

1) if Price makes a higher high but the Oscillator makes a lower High it is considered Bearish.. you may note the affects in Price action shortly after the divergence.

2) if Price makes a Lower Low and the Oscillator makes a Higher Low it is to be regarded as Bullish.

Try bringing up a RSI and note the comparison with the MACD and Price action.

Hope this helps.
