We also have regular divergence and hidden divergence. The former is the most common type in trend reversals, while the latter occurs in trend continuations.
Regardless, a divergence signal on a price chart is an important occurrence observed by many traders.
Divergence is one of the vital signals depicting the market's upcoming price reversal. However, manually spotting the divergence between price and CCI can be a hectic and ambiguous task.
We created this indicator to show the regular and hidden divergence between the price and CCI oscillator.

Inputs Parameters
Key Uses for Market Open Traders
When a market opens (for instance, on a currency pair), traders can look for divergences between price and CCI. This information can offer clues on fresh reversals or trend continuations that often emerge during open sessions.
Key Uses for Post News Traders
After a news event, traders look for exit signals. When you’re in a profitable position, the indicator can offer triggers in this regard. So, bearish divergences appearing in a buy order may indicate a suitable time for exiting a news move; the opposite is true for bullish divergences.
Key Uses for General Pattern Traders
Most patterns generally suggest either a reversal or trend continuation. The indicator is a popular tool to detect divergence reversals and can be used as a final confirmation factor for a continuation entry.

Limitations
Using the CCI divergence as a standalone entry signal can be risky. Every divergence can't be interpreted as a strong reversal signal. Try to combine it with price action and trend direction to avoid false signals.
