divergence

Just because there exists a divergence doesn't mean price can't continue higher.  A perfect example of that today in the SPY and the NYSE TICK.
Sorry for the busy chart.  As an aside,  the first highlighted region on the TICK chart was not a divergence.  What followed, were TICK divergences, which led to subtle price pullbacks but ultimately continued breaking out.  Notice how TICK held the zero-line on each pullback.
