What is MACD?

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving averages of price.

  • MACD Line: EMA(12) − EMA(26) — the core momentum signal.
  • Signal Line: 9-period EMA of MACD Line — used to generate crossover signals.
  • Histogram: MACD − Signal Line — shows momentum acceleration. Growing histogram = strengthening trend.
  • Bullish: MACD above zero and histogram positive — strong uptrend momentum.
  • Bullish Crossover: Histogram just turned positive — early buy signal.
  • Bearish Crossover: Histogram just turned negative — early sell signal.
  • Fresh Crossover: Histogram crossed zero in the last session — the most actionable signals.
