Technical Analysis Challenge Day 2 - MACD

Welcome back to this week's TA topic learning. Today we will learn how traders use the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) to extract valuable clues about the markets.
Technical Analysis Challenge Day 2 - MACD
What can you learn from the MACD challenge?
● Basic concepts of MACD
● Advantages & limitations of MACD
● Charting & application of MACD

Let's get started!

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.

Now, it's time to put them into practice. Let's follow some simple steps to draw the MACD lines on moomoo.

How to write your post?
Step 1: Select a specific stock
Step 2: Find the MACD indicator on moomoo
Step 3: Read the chart and analyze the price trends

For example:

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.
