RSI Divergence Indicator

RSI Divergence – Fast vs Slow RSI Momentum Oscillator

RSI Divergence is a technical analysis indicator that measures the difference between fast and slow RSI values. Instead of showing RSI directly, it visualizes internal momentum changes through a single oscillator line.

This approach helps traders identify momentum shifts, trend transitions, and potential reversal zones earlier than traditional RSI signals.

Key Features:

• Fast and slow RSI comparison in one oscillator
• Color-coded momentum states for quick interpretation
• Zero-line crossover for momentum regime changes
• Clean and simple visual design

Trading Applications:

• Momentum confirmation in trending markets
• Early detection of momentum weakening
• Divergence analysis between price and RSI momentum
• Additional filter for entry and exit timing

Indicator Logic:

• Positive values: fast RSI above slow RSI (bullish momentum)
• Negative values: fast RSI below slow RSI (bearish momentum)
• Zero-line crossover: momentum direction change

Default Parameters:

• Fast RSI period: 5
• Slow RSI period: 14

RSI Divergence works on all markets and timeframes, including crypto, forex, stocks, and indices. It is commonly used on intraday charts and higher timeframes as a momentum-based confirmation indicator.
