Bearish RSI Divergence

Overview​

The Bearish RSI Divergence profile tracks groups where bearish divergence has spread across a large share of constituent companies. This helps you spot industries and themes where upside momentum may be weakening beneath the surface, even before price fully rolls over.

info

This profile updates in real time and applies filters automatically to show groups where bearish RSI divergence is unusually concentrated. It is useful for spotting exhaustion, early reversal risk, and weakening momentum inside both strong and weak groups.

Strategy Focus​

  • Identify groups with widespread bearish RSI divergence across constituent companies
  • Detect hidden weakness beneath price strength before a larger reversal becomes obvious
  • Track exhaustion risk in industries and themes that may be running out of momentum
  • Compare divergence concentration with volume, flow, and group ratings for better context
  • Use Top Alpha Setups and breakdown metrics to confirm whether weakness is becoming actionable
  • Build caution, hedge, or short-bias watchlists around groups showing broad deterioration

Filters Applied​

This profile applies a single divergence filter:

  • Negative RSI Divergence 14D (%) > 50: Includes only groups where more than 50% of companies show confirmed bearish RSI divergence from the last 1 to 2 trading days

This keeps the profile focused on groups with broad internal momentum deterioration.

Metrics Used​

Structural Divergence Signal​

  • Negative RSI Divergence 14D (%): The main filter and sorting metric. It shows the percentage of companies in the group with confirmed bearish RSI divergence.

Group Identity and Structure​

  • Industry / Theme: Identifies the group so you can compare divergence concentration across industries and themes.
  • Tickers: Shows how many companies are inside the group, which helps frame the breadth of the signal.

Price Movement​

  • Change Pre (%): Adds pre-market context and can help show whether weakness is beginning to confirm early.
  • Change From Close (%): Tracks regular-session movement and helps show whether divergence is turning into real selling pressure.
  • Group Rating 1 Day: Adds current-session context and helps show whether divergence is already affecting group behavior.
  • Group Rating 1 Year: Adds longer-term context so you can judge whether the divergence is appearing inside long-term leaders or long-term laggards.

Relative Strength Metrics​

  • Rel. Strength 1 Day 90+ (%): Shows how much short-term strength still exists inside the group, which can highlight internal contradictions.
  • Rel. Strength 1 Year 90+ (%): Shows how much long-term leadership remains inside the group.

Volume and Flow Confirmation​

  • Total Volume (%): Shows how much of market volume is concentrated in the group.
  • Relative Volume: Helps confirm whether divergence is being followed by stronger participation and price response.

Return Context​

  • Return Year to Date (%): Helps place the divergence inside the broader yearly trend.

Fundamental Snapshot​

  • EPS Rating: Adds earnings-quality context and helps judge whether weakening momentum is happening inside stronger or weaker fundamental groups.
  • Sales Rating: Adds revenue-growth context.
  • Profit Rating: Adds profitability context and helps judge overall quality.
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Adds institutional-flow context and helps confirm whether divergence is lining up with distribution.

Earnings and Setup Context​

  • Reports Earnings Within 1 Week: Highlights near-term catalysts that may confirm or interrupt the divergence pattern.
  • Top Alpha Setups: Shows whether bearish divergence is also translating into concentrated setup activity.

Breakout and Breakdown Activity​

  • Last Price > Prev. High (%): Helps show whether groups are still pushing to new highs despite internal weakness.
  • Last Price < Prev. Low (%): Helps confirm whether divergence has started to resolve into breakdown behavior.
  • Tight Range (%): Highlights compression that may resolve after divergence builds.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Negative RSI Divergence 14D (%) in descending order, putting the highest concentration of bearish divergence at the top.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Spot groups showing broad momentum deterioration before price fully breaks down
  • Build reversal or hedge watchlists around divergence-heavy industries and themes
  • Use Ticker Screener to isolate the companies contributing most to the divergence cluster
  • Open Multi-Charts to compare topping behavior across weaker groups
  • Review Group Viewer to study divergence, volume, flow, and setup concentration together
  • Prepare for earnings-related or trend-related pullbacks in groups showing broad exhaustion
