Price Divergence Signal

Definition

A price divergence signal occurs when a digital asset’s price movement contradicts the trend observed in a related on-chain metric or technical indicator. For example, if an asset’s price is increasing while the number of active users or transaction volume is decreasing, this creates a bearish divergence signal. Conversely, a rising price accompanied by falling network activity could indicate a speculative rally lacking fundamental support. Such signals are used by analysts to identify potential reversals or unsustainable market trends, prompting a deeper examination of underlying market conditions.
