Oscillation of the MACD Indicator
The MACD Indices indicator is an oscillator indicator that moves up and down around a zero center line mark. The center-line is the neutral measurement, values above zero will indicate bullish stock indices market trend while values below indicate bearish trend.
The MACD indicator is also used to indicate overbought and oversold levels. When the MACD reaches overextended levels, then indices is overbought or oversold. However, in a strong upward trending stock indices market indices trading prices will stay overbought in this case it's better to buy.
Also in a strong down trending stock indices market its better to sell, because indices trading prices will stay in the oversold region for a long time.
Over-bought conditions occur above the zero line while over-sold conditions occur way below the zero mark.
