Bill William Bull/Bear divergent bars See: Book, Trading Chaos by Bill Williams Coded by polyclick
A bullish (green) divergent bar, signals a trend switch from bear -> bull -> The current bar has a lower low than the previous bar, but closes in the upper half of the candle. -> This means the bulls are pushing from below and are trying to take over, potentially resulting in a trend switch to bullish. -> We also check if this bar is below the three alligator lines to avoid false positives.
A bearish (red) divergent bar, signals a trend switch from bull -> bear -> The current bar has a higher high than the previous bar, but closes in the lower half of the candle. -> This means the bears are pushing the price down and are taking over, potentially resulting in a trend switch to bearish. -> We also check if this bar is above the three alligator lines to avoid false positives.
Best used in combination with the Bill Williams Alligator indicator.
