MACD
Updated 2026-09-20
Definition
An indicator that compares two exponential moving averages (usually 12 and 26) and shows a line, a signal and a histogram.
Why it matters
It signals momentum changes and helps spot divergences. Like moving averages it lags and produces false signals in ranges.
Practical example
MACD line above zero: bullish momentum; a cross below the signal line: possible weakening.
