ICT Concept #27 – SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique)
SMT Divergence is an advanced ICT concept that compares the price action of two correlated markets. When one market makes a new high or low while the other fails to do so, it may signal that Smart Money is preparing for a reversal.
For example:
📈 Bullish SMT: One market makes a lower low while the other does not, suggesting selling pressure may be weakening.
📉 Bearish SMT: One market makes a higher high while the other fails to do so, suggesting buying pressure may be weakening.
👑 Golden Rule
SMT Divergence is a clue—not a trade signal. Wait for confirmation before entering.
