A trend and momentum oscillator built from two moving averages, made up of a MACD line, a signal line, and a histogram showing the gap between them.

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a trend and momentum oscillator built from the relationship between two EMAs. It plots a MACD line, a signal line, and a histogram showing the gap between the two - many traders watch for the MACD line crossing above or below the signal line as a sign of shifting momentum, combining both trend and momentum information in a single indicator.
