MACD Crossovers

Signal line crossover momentum signals

How it works: MACD crossovers identify momentum shifts before price moves.

  • Bullish Cross = MACD line crosses above signal line (momentum turning up)
  • Bearish Cross = MACD line crosses below signal line (momentum turning down)
  • More frequent than 50/200 MA crossovers - typically multiple signals per month
  • Best combined with trend direction for higher probability setups

MACD Settings

Standard: 12/26/9. Faster settings catch moves earlier but with more noise.
