MACD CFD Technical Indicator Cross-over Signals

MACD Center line crossovers generate signals using the center line mark. The sentiment of the market can be confirmed using the MACD center line crossovers. MACD cfd crossover above the center line mark generates bullish market sentiment while crossover below the center-line generates bearish market sentiment.

  • When the FastLine crosses below MACD Line (not center-mark) it shows market momentum is slowing - this is not a reversal signal or a sell signal, wait for center mark cross-over.
  • When the Fast line crosses above the MACD Line (not center mark) it shows the cfd market momentum is slowing - this is not a reversal signal or a buy signal, wait for center mark cross-over.
  • The Center-Line crossover signals will be the best trading signals for confirming buy & sell trade signals.

Using the CFD Trading chart in the cfd example shown below, when MACD fast line crossed below the zero center mark, the sell signal was confirmed and the cfd market sentiment changed to bearish - downwards trend.

Also in the cfd example shown below when MACD fast line later crosses above zero center mark, a buy signal was generated and the cfd market sentiment changed to bullish - upwards trend.

Oscillation of the MACD Indicator

The MACD CFD indicator is an indicator that moves up and down around a zero center line mark. The center-line is the neutral measurement, values above zero will indicate bullish market trend while values below indicate bearish trend.

The MACD indicator is also used to indicate overbought and oversold levels. When the MACD reaches overextended levels, then a cfd is overbought or oversold. However, in a strong upward trending market prices will stay overbought in this case it's better to buy.

Also in a strong down cfd trending market its better to sell, because cfd prices will stay in the oversold region for a long time.

Overbought conditions occur above the zero line while oversold conditions occur way below the zero mark.
