D) TRADING TIPS
The principle of confirmation is one of the common themes running throughout the entire subject of market analysis, and is used in conjunction with its counterpart- divergence.
Confirmation refers to the comparison of all technical signals and indicators to ensure that most of those indicators are pointing in the same direction and are confirming one another.
Divergence is the opposite of confirmation and refers to a situation where different technical indicators fail to confirm one another. While it is being used here in negative sense , divergence is a valuable concept in market analysis, and one of the best early warning signals of impending trend reversals.
