Oscillation of MACD Indicator

The MACD indicator is an 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 market trend while values below indicate bearish trend.

MACD indicator is also used to indicate overbought & oversold levels. When the MACD reaches overextended levels, then gold is overbought or oversold. However, in a strong upwards trending market prices will stay overbought in this case it's better to buy.

Also in a strong down trending market its better to sell, because prices will stay in the oversold region for a long time.

Overbought conditions occur above the zero line while oversold conditions occur way below the zero mark.
