Quick Overview of the Future MACD Indicator

The MACD histogram and signal line shift around a central zero line. When both components rise above the zero level, a bullish condition is present. Conversely, when they drop below, the indicator points to bearish momentum.

Bullish Trade Example

On a 1-hour ETH (Ethereum) chart, a scenario where the MACD bars and signal line remain above the zero mark suggests upward momentum. The advanced predictive quality of the indicator enables earlier identification of such bullish trends.

Bearish Trade Example

As shown in the USD/CAD 30-minute chart, once the signal line reverses direction and the MACD histogram shifts below the zero line, it confirms a bearish outlook. This condition holds until both remain beneath the midline.
