🧠 Correlated assets usually move in tandem, but sometimes they diverge. This is called SMT divergence.

🤥 One asset hits a new high, while the other fails to do so. This means momentum is waning and a reversal is looming.

A bullish SMT occurs when one asset slides to a new low while the other does not. A bearish SMT is the opposite.

Look for correlated indices or currencies. Read our article on the LiteFinance blog to better understand SMT divergence.

🗺 Without an understanding of market structure, a trader is like a sailor without a compass, drifting aimlessly in a sea of ever-changing conditions.

Understanding market structure reduces risks and opens up opportunities. With the new article on the LiteFinance platform, you'll master all the ins and outs of market structure.
