Divergence basics...Price goes one way, indicators the other. You observe what price has done relative what the indicators are doing. All indicators are based on what has already happened to price therefor they are lagging signals. You interpret the relationships to anticipate future price movements.
Divergences often form BEFORE price makes it's move, therefor they can be used as leading indicators of future price moves.
