How the MACD 2 Color Histogram Works
In this indicator, entry and exit signals are derived from the crossover point between the MACD line and the signal line:
- When the MACD line crosses above the signal line → it generates a Buy Signal, indicating a potential bullish trend.
- When the MACD line crosses below the signal line → it produces a Sell Signal, signaling potential bearish momentum.
Buy Trade Example
On the 30-minute Cardano (ADA) chart, when the MACD line moves above the signal line, it marks a favorable entry point for buying positions.
As green histograms begin to appear, they confirm increasing bullish strength and reinforce trend continuation.
Sell Trade Example
On the 1-hour GBP/USD chart, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, it provides a sell signal.
The formation of red histograms further confirms bearish momentum, indicating persistent selling pressure and the possibility of trend continuation.
