$APR 4 hours: MACD forms a golden cross above the zero line, after 11 consecutive bars in the opposite direction before the crossover.
Let’s use this figure to talk about MACD.
A golden cross occurs when DIF crosses above DEA, while a death cross occurs when DIF crosses below DEA—in other words, when the histogram bars switch from negative to positive or from positive to negative.
The longer the bars in the opposite direction persist before a crossover, the more pronounced the preceding one-way trend was. This crossover is often considered cleaner than one that occurs during choppy trading.
Any data only summarizes past price movements; the market could just as easily move in the opposite direction.
