A bullish (green) divergent bar, signals a trend switch from bear -> bull
-> The current bar has a lower low than the previous bar, but closes in the upper half of the candle.
-> This means the bulls are pushing from below and are trying to take over, potentially resulting in a trend switch to bullish.
-> We also check if this bar is below the three alligator lines to avoid false positives.

A bearish (red) divergent bar, signals a trend switch from bull -> bear
-> The current bar has a higher high than the previous bar, but closes in the lower half of the candle.
-> This means the bears are pushing the price down and are taking over, potentially resulting in a trend switch to bearish.
-> We also check if this bar is above the three alligator lines to avoid false positives.

Best used in combination with the Bill Williams Alligator indicator.
