What is MACD?

A momentum indicator showing when a trend might be changing

Full Explanation

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) compares two moving averages to show whether momentum is building or fading. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it's a bullish sign. When it crosses below, bearish.

Best used with other indicators — not reliable on its own.
