Caught a really solid SPY bearish divergence setup today that played out almost exactly how you’d want to see it.
Price pushed up to make a higher high, but momentum didn’t follow through. TSI printed a lower high, which is something I pay very close attention to when watching for potential reversals. That disconnect between price and momentum is usually the first sign that buyers are losing strength.
Instead of jumping in early, I waited for confirmation of the move starting to roll over. Once sellers stepped in, I entered small at first since price was still hovering around VWAP and the 200 EMA, which can always act as support. After price broke through with conviction, I added to the position and let the trade work.
Ended up being a clean momentum move down and a pretty straightforward execution overall. This particular trade was in SPY $694 PUTS… 0DTE.
Divergences are honestly one of the most consistent patterns I’ve found for reversal setups. They’re not perfect, but when you combine them with key levels, patience, and confirmation, they can be extremely effective. I personally like using TSI for divergence tracking, but the same concept applies with RSI, MACD, or other momentum indicators.
PS… Hidden divergences are even better… I’ve posted a bunch of those as well. Seriously, google divergence patterns, you should give them a try.
Curious if anyone else was watching SPY around that level today or caught the same move! Hope you guys had a great day, let’s keep the momentum going!
