Profit Ratio Divergence

Definition

Profit ratio divergence occurs when the realized profit ratio of an asset’s holders moves in an opposite direction to the asset’s price trend. For instance, if the price is falling but the profit ratio among transacting entities is rising, it suggests that fewer entities are selling at a loss. This metric helps identify potential shifts in market sentiment and selling pressure. It can signal a weakening of a current trend or the formation of a price bottom.
