MACD Indicator
What is MACD?
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): (1) MACD line = 12-period EMA minus 26-period EMA; (2) Signal line = 9-period EMA of MACD line; (3) Histogram = difference between MACD and signal line. Default: 12, 26, 9.
MACD Signals
Bullish crossover: MACD crosses above signal line = buy signal. Bearish crossover: MACD crosses below signal = sell. Zero line cross: strong trend shift. Histogram shrinking = fading momentum. MACD divergence is the strongest signal.
