Technical Note|$XRP |4-hour MACD|Bullish crossover below the zero line
First, the definition: MACD is calculated from moving averages, so it inherently lags. By the time a bullish or bearish crossover occurs, the price has often already moved quite a bit.
A common way to read it: The histogram bars often start getting shorter before a crossover appears. Some people use this as an early sign of weakening momentum, but this signal is also more prone to errors.
With leveraged trading, first consider whether you can withstand the worst-case outcome, then look at what the signal is saying.
