MACD Crossover Signals
MACD centerline crossovers generate signals using the center line mark. The sentiment of the market can be confirmed using MACD center line cross-overs. MACD gold trading cross over above the centerline mark generates bullish market sentiment while crossover below the center line generates bearish market sentiment.
- When the Fast Line crosses below MACD Line (not center mark) it shows market momentum is slowing - this is not a reversal setup or a sell trading signal, wait for the center line crossover.
- When the Fast line crosses above the MACD Line (not center mark) it shows the market momentum is slowing - this isn't a reversal setup or a buy signal, wait for the center line crossover.

Oscillation of MACD Indicator
The MACD indicator is an indicator which moves up & down around a zero center-line mark. The center-line is the neutral measurement, values above the zero mark will reflect bullish price trend while readings below reflect bearish trend.
MACD indicator is also used to reflect over-bought and over-sold levels. When the MACD reaches overextended levels, then gold is overbought or oversold. However, in a strong upwards trending market prices will stay over-bought in this case it's better to buy.
Also in a strong downtrend market its better to sell, because prices will stay in the over-sold region for a long time.
Overbought conditions occur way above the zero line while oversold conditions occur way below the zero mark.
