MACD
Momentum from two MAs plus a signal line and histogram. Crossovers mark entry timing.
About
MACD is the gap between a fast and slow EMA, plotted with a signal line and a histogram of their difference.
A MACD line crossing above its signal line, or the histogram flipping through zero, is a common momentum turn. Divergence between price and MACD can warn that a move is fading.
In a mix, use MACD crosses for timing and keep a slower trend or volume signal as confirmation. Histogram rules are useful when you want the turn without waiting for a full line cross.
