The EURUSD currency pair on the D1 time frame was in a lengthy uptrend until a last higher top formed at 1.10329 on 2 February. The bears found price attractive at those levels and supply started overcoming demand.

A closer look at the Momentum Oscillator reveals negative divergence between point “a” and “b” when comparing the tops at 1.09294 and 1.10329. This should have alerted technical traders that the bullish momentum could be fading.
