Remarks for Nov 12, 2018, whose text is too small on the published chart:
Bullish Divergence indicators Strong Support,
when Bull makes less and less profit from buying the support level,
eventually, the Support is going to be broken through.
In 9 Seasons Rainbow Indicator, Blue -> Fuchsia means Breakdown of a support.

Hidden Divergence is not included in this idea, because I feel the probability to win is not so high as normal Divergence. May be I don't find the right method to use hidden Divergence.
