MACD triggers technical signals when it crosses above (to buy) or below (to sell) its signal line. It helps investors see whether the bullish or bearish movement in the price trend is strengthening or weakening.
MACD triggers technical signals when it crosses above (to buy) or below (to sell) its signal line. It helps investors see whether the bullish or bearish movement in the price trend is strengthening or weakening.
1. We can see that the MACD peaks match the price trend peaks, and the MACD troughs also match the price trend troughs.
2. When the MACD is above zero, the price moves higher in an uptrend. In contrast, when the MACD is below zero, the price falls in a downtrend.
3. A buy signal is released when the DIF breaks through DEA from bottom to top. A sell signal is released when the DIF breaks through DEA from top to bottom.

I want to analyze $xxx with MACD, so I find it on moomoo.
After learning, I sum up three key points. First, we should pay attention to the relationship between the DIF and the DEA lines. Second, the upward and downward columnar development in the middle is called the MACD column. Third, the central axis is generally above or below zero.
The MACD column turned slowly from red to green, while DIF and DEA crossed upwards. With this uptrend, I think it's time to buy.

Tammyy : The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator is a momentum oscillator primarily used to trade trends. Although it is an oscillator, it is not typically used to identify over bought or oversold conditions. It appears on the chart as two lines which oscillate without boundaries. The crossover of the two lines give trading signals similar to a two moving average system.
NANA123 : It's one of the oscillators that are quite popular with traders and being a combination of several variables, it's considered as a more precise tool than many others.

J to the G : The MACD is a great tool for further reference of what has been happening with the stock. I was trading F today and grabbed a few shares when the macd avg's crossed over in the negative range, great spot to take a position due to the potential for the upside from this location. Great tool to help with my swing trades.

JESUSFREAK : hmmmm
OFFICER TRUTH : The MACD isn’t so much an amazing tool as much as it’s just so widely used by newer traders so because so many people make a trading decision using the MACD you can also expect volume pushes on those crosses as well.
NANA123 J to the G : Can you expand and talk about it in detail? How does the casework?
NANA123 steady Pom pipi : look forward to your output![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
