SMT Divergence

SMT (Smart Money Technique) Divergence compares the price structure of two correlated assets (e.g., BTC and ETH). When one asset makes a new extreme but the other fails to confirm — it signals a potential reversal.

​

How It Works

Two correlated assets normally move in sync. When synchronization breaks at key swing points — it indicates manipulation or repositioning by institutional players. Examples:

• BTC makes Higher High, ETH makes Lower High → bearish divergence
• BTC makes Lower Low, ETH makes Higher Low → bullish divergence

​

Modes

​

Fractal

Compares Williams fractals (pivot highs/lows) of both assets. Fractals are matched by time proximity (nearest within ±N bars), not by index — this accounts for pivots forming with slight offsets on different assets.

​

Level

Detects session level sweeps: when one asset breaks a previous period level but the other doesn’t. Tracked levels:

• PDH / PDL — Previous Day High / Low
• PWH / PWL — Previous Week High / Low
• PMH / PML — Previous Month High / Low

Sweep high → bearish signal (liquidity grab). Sweep low → bullish signal.

​

Both

Combines both modes on a single chart.
