Oscillation of the MACD Indicator

The MACD Forex indicator is an oscillator 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 forex market trend while values below indicate bearish forex market trend.

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

Also in a strong down trending forex market its better to sell, because 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.
