	Divergence
		In technical analysis, divergence is considered either positive or negative, both of which are signals of major shifts in the direction of the price.
		Negative divergence happens when the price of the security makes a new high, but the indicator fails to do the same and instead closes lower than the previous high.
		Divergences, Momentum And Rate Of Change - Divergences may signal a change in market direction, but traders must also identify the speed of that change.

	PlanetMath: divergence (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In physical terms, the divergence of a vector field is the extent to which the vector field flow behaves like a source or a sink at a given point.
		The non-infinitesimal interpretation of divergence is given by Gauss's Theorem.
		This is version 7 of divergence, born on 2002-08-05, modified 2007-05-17.

	Gauss's Law, the Divergence Theorem, and the Electric Field
		The Divergence Theorem relates the divergence of a function within some region to the values of that function on the boundary of that region.
		where we have introduced the "Del-dot" symbol for the divergence operator.
		The Law is an experimental law of physics, while the Theorem is a mathematical law that depends only on the definitions of field, divergence, and surface and volume integrals.

	Divergence Information
		In vector calculus, the divergence is an operator that measures a vector field's tendency to originate from or converge upon a given point.
		For instance, for a vector field that denotes the velocity of air expanding as it is heated, the divergence of the velocity field would have a positive value because the air is expanding.
		In physical terms, the divergence of a three dimensional vector field is the extent to which the vector field flow behaves like a source or a sink at a given point.

	Oilfield Glossary: Term 'divergence'
		The loss of energy from a wavefront as a consequence of geometrical spreading, observable as a decrease in wave amplitude.
		Divergence is a mathematical property of a vector field that is a local measure of its rate of spreading.
		In Cartesian coordinates, divergence is the sum of the partial derivatives of each component of the vector field with respect to the corresponding spatial coordinate:

	Trading Alchemy Read About Divergence
		Divergence occurs when the indicator (RSI, MACD, Stochastics or Tick) is giving you an indication as to direction that is different from the direction that price is moving.
		With the Alchemy Divergence Indicators all the difficult and tedious measuring are done for you in a very visual and consistent manner.
		The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator name is derived from the fact that the shorter EMA is continually converging toward and diverging away from the longer EMA.

	Human/chimpanzee divergence
		In the case of human and chimpanzee, the divergence occurred sufficiently long ago that there are significant numbers of rearrangements in the chromosomes but not so long that all chromosomes have rearrangements.
		This is highly significant and indicates that protein divergence is much greater in the rearranged chromosomes than in the co-linear chromosomes exactly as predicted.
		The signature of this is the greater accumulation of protein modifications on genes on rearranged chromosomes.

	Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) - StockCharts.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Divergences between MACD and the MACD-Histogram are the main tool used to anticipate moving average crossovers.
		A Positive Divergence in the MACD-Histogram indicates that the MACD is strengthening and could be on the verge of a Bullish Moving Average Crossover.
		A Negative Divergence in the MACD-Histogram indicates that the MACD is weakening, and it foreshadows a Bearish Moving Average Crossover in the MACD.

	Divergence and convergence
		Some people prefer diverging, as it means the potential of a wrong decision is never reached.
		Using a repeated sequence of divergence and convergence is a great way of maintaining focus in many situations.
		Diverge to help them find what is wrong and how it can be fixed, but do not allow endless divergence.

	Weather Elements: What Goes Up: Part 3 Convergence and Divergence
		Divergence is the opposite situation to convergence, the moving away of elements from a common area.
		In the lower atmosphere, surface divergence causes air to sink from above to replace that moving outward from the divergence zone, therefore surface divergence zones are the place to look for indications of downdrafts.
		Upper-level divergence that can induce sustained updrafts from the surface is one sign that severe-weather forecasters look for as an indicator of cyclone formation or severe thunderstorm potential.

		Divergence can signal an up coming change in trend, a change of trend in progress or that a trend should continue.
		Another time to look for a divergence is after a period of consolidation or sideways movement in the market that also has a test of a previous high or low in the consolidation range.
		Unlike regular divergence, where the weakness in price trend is about to lead to a reversal; here the weakness has already led to a little reversal against the trend.

	The Continuity Equation and Divergence (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The divergence term measures the tendency for lateral spreading (and vertical spreading) of air to change the amount of air in the air column.
		Horizontal divergence is a measure of the percentage or fractional rate of change of the horizontal cross sectional area of an air or water column.
		Notice that horizontal divergence is proportional to the gradient of the wind speeds.
