MACD
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a popular technical indicator used to spot changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in the price of an asset. It consists of two main components: 1. MACD Line: The difference between two exponential moving averages (usually the 12-day and 26-day EMA). 2. Signal Line: A 9-day exponential moving average of the MACD line, which helps generate buy or sell signals. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it is a bullish signal (potential buy), and when it crosses below, it is a bearish signal (potential sell).
