How to Identify

  • Price creates lower low
  • RSI creates higher low
  • Draw trendlines to confirm divergence
  • Often occurs in oversold territory

Trading Tips

High probability reversal. Enter on price confirmation. Stop below recent low. Target previous high or resistance. One of the best RSI signals.

The RSI Bullish Divergence signal occurs when a technical indicator enters territory associated with potential upside. It suggests that selling pressure may be exhausted and buying momentum is building below the surface.

What This Pattern Tells You

The indicator is reading conditions that have historically preceded price recoveries. Oversold or diverging readings suggest the selling wave is running out of energy. Price may not have turned yet, but momentum is shifting in favour of buyers.

How to Trade It

Entry: Enter on price confirmation.

Stop loss: Stop below recent low.

Target: Target previous high or resistance.

Confirmation: Do not act on the pattern alone. Require at least one confirming signal such as a follow-through candle, a volume spike, or a supporting oscillator reading before entering.

When Is It Most Reliable

This signal is most meaningful when it appears after a sustained price decline and when the indicator reaches an extreme reading. Divergence between an indicator making higher lows while price makes lower lows is one of the highest-confidence setups in technical analysis.

How to Identify It

The following conditions define a valid RSI Bullish Divergence signal:

  • Price creates lower low.
  • RSI creates higher low.
  • Draw trendlines to confirm divergence.
  • Often occurs in oversold territory.

Reliability

With an 82% historical success rate, RSI Bullish Divergence sits in the high reliability tier among indicator patterns. No technical signal is infallible. Always define your maximum acceptable loss before entering a trade, and honour your stop loss without exception.
