Reading the MACD Chart

• The MACD chart displays the momentum of an asset's price.
• The main line (MACD line) is the difference between the 12-day and 26-day exponential moving averages (EMA).
• The Signal line, a 9-day EMA of the MACD line, serves as a trigger for buy/sell signals.
• When the MACD line crosses above the Signal line, it's a bullish sign, suggesting potential upward momentum.
• A cross below indicates potential downward momentum.
• The bars (Histogram) represent the difference between the MACD and Signal lines, visually emphasizing the strength and direction of momentum.

Purpose of MACD in Trading

• Traders use MACD as it provides insights into the asset's momentum and potential trend reversals.
• By observing crossovers and the Histogram, traders make informed decisions about entering or exiting positions.
• The MACD's versatility in highlighting both trend and momentum makes it a favored tool among traders, helping to minimize risk and capitalize on potential profit opportunities.
