Swing Failure

Swing Failure (Signal of Trend Reversal)

A swing failure is the early stage of a trend reversal. It occurs when the price attempts to create a new high or break a significant level, but due to a lack of momentum, it fails to either make the new high or stay above the key level, and then reverses in the opposite direction. 

Early Signals of Swing Failure

1. Strong reversal candlesticks at key levels (e.g., Engulfing, Shooting Star)

2. Multiple price rejections at key levels

3. Price-volume divergence at key levels

4. RSI divergence (use short period) 

5. MACD divergence (use short period) 

6. Overbought/Oversold conditions
