Momentum Divergence Scanner for NSE Stocks Momentum DivergenceA chart pattern is usually a statement about shape. This one is a statement about speed. It looks for a leg that moved hard and fast, then a counter-move that took longer than the impulse did and still did not cover the same ground — a steep fall answered by a slow grinding bounce, or a steep rally answered by a shallow drift back. You can point it at a single stock, or let it sweep every NSE stock in our stored history and rank the results by how wide the gap is.
How to use the Momentum Divergence
- Pick a stock, or sweep them allSingle mode draws the structure on one stock's chart. Auto mode reads every NSE stock we hold history for and ranks what it finds.
- Choose the timeframeDaily, weekly or monthly bars. The same rules are restated per timeframe, so a weekly scan is a scan of weekly bars rather than a daily scan filtered coarsely.
- Choose a sideWeak Rebound is a sharp fall with a limp bounce. Weak Pullback is a sharp rally with a shallow drift back. Or leave it on both.
- Set the quality floorQuality combines how sharp the impulse was with how badly the counter-move underperformed it in distance per bar. A higher floor returns fewer, starker cases.
- Read the numbersEvery match shows the impulse as a percentage and a bar count, the retracement as a share of that impulse, and the speed of the recovery against the speed of the move it is undoing.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a flag?
A flag is a tight, short consolidation measured by containment — the pause has to stay small against the pole and coil within a few weeks. This measures effort against distance instead, so it keeps exactly the case a flag throws away: a long, slow, drifting recovery that never coils.
What exactly counts as "weak"?
Two conditions together. The counter-move must take more time than the impulse did (at least 1.2x the bars), and it must cover less ground (at most 61.8% of the impulse). It must also be a real attempt — under 15% of the impulse it is a flat base, not a failing recovery.
What makes the impulse count as sharp?
At least a 15% move, completed inside roughly three weeks of bars on the chosen timeframe. Capping the time is what enforces the speed: the same 15% spread over two months is a drift, not a shock.
Does a weak rebound mean the stock will fall further?
No. This reports a contrast that has already appeared in past prices and nothing else. It gives no targets, no entries and no ratings, and it makes no claim about what a price does next. It is a study and research aid, not a recommendation, not a tip service, and not investment advice.
Why does the sweep return one row per stock?
Because the list is a ranking across stocks, not within them. A stock can carry several of these over a few years; the sweep keeps its most recent one so every row describes the stock's current state.
What do bullish and bearish mean here?
They describe the direction of the impulse, which is the leg the structure says has not been answered. It is a label attached to the measurement, not a view on the stock and not a forecast.
