RSI and MACD Divergence Indicator
The RSI and MACD Divergence Indicator is a custom Pine Script v6 indicator designed for TradingView that identifies and visualizes divergences between price movements and two technical indicators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Here's a brief explanation of its functionality:
Divergence Detection: The indicator detects both regular and hidden divergences for RSI, MACD (MACD Line), and Histogram. Regular bullish divergences occur when price makes a lower low but the indicator makes a higher low (suggesting a potential reversal upward), while regular bearish divergences occur when price makes a higher high but the indicator makes a lower high (suggesting a potential reversal downward). Hidden divergences indicate continuation patterns (e.g., higher low in price with a lower low in the indicator for bullish continuation).
Customizable Inputs:
Pivot Bars: Sets the number of bars used to confirm pivot highs and lows (default: 5).
RSI and MACD Parameters: Allows adjustment of RSI length (default: 14) and MACD settings (fast: 12, slow: 26, signal: 9).
Toggle Options: Enables/disables detection of regular and hidden divergences for RSI, MACD, and Histogram individually.
Confirmation: Option to wait for pivot confirmation (default: true), delaying divergence display until the pivot is fully formed.
Show Only Last Divergence: Toggles between showing only the most recent divergence (default: true) or all detected divergences (false), with previous lines and labels cleared when true.
Minimum Divergences: Sets the minimum number of divergence types required at a pivot to display (default: 1, max: 6).
Maximum Pivot Points: Limits the number of historical pivot points to check (default: 10).
Maximum Bars to Check: Restricts analysis to the last specified number of bars (default: 500).
Visualization:
Draws lines connecting the price pivot points where divergences are detected, with customizable colors, widths, and styles (solid, dashed, dotted) for RSI and MACD.
Displays a single label per pivot with vertically stacked text listing all detected divergence types (e.g., "RSI Bull Div\nMACD Bull Div"), using semi-transparent backgrounds (green for bullish, red for bearish) and white text.
