Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
The MACD is a technical indicator composed of two main lines: the MACD line and the signal line, which is a 9-period EMA of the MACD line. The interactions between these lines and the histogram, which represents the difference between them, make this trading strategy effective for analyzing shifts in market momentum and potential trend reversals.
Traders can use the divergences between the MACD and price action to spot potential trend reversals. Divergences can either be bullish or bearish. In a bullish divergence, the price forms lower lows while the MACD forms higher lows, signaling a potential reversal to the upside. Conversely, in a bearish divergence, the price forms higher highs while the MACD forms lower highs, indicating a potential reversal to the downside.
In addition, traders may utilize MACD crossovers. When the MACD line crosses the signal line from below, it indicates upward momentum, signaling a potential buying opportunity.
