The Zeroline is the spot where the momentum is at balance with acceleration or deceleration.

If Acceleration/Deceleration is higher than Zero, then it's easier for the acceleration to continue in the upwards movement.

If Acceleration/Deceleration is lower than Zero, then it's easier for the deceleration to continue in the downwards movement.

The Zero point is not regarded as a buy or sell signal when it is crossed.
