MACD Bitcoin Analysis and MACD BTCUSD Signals

The MACD is one of simplest, reliable, & most often used cryptocurrency technical indicators.

MACD is a momentum oscillator & also a bitcoin trend following indicator.

Construction of MACD Indicator

The construction of this MACD technical indicator calculates difference between 2 moving averages and then draws that as the 'Fast' line: the second 'Signal' line is then calculated using the resulting 'Fast' line and then plotted on the same window as 'Fast' line.

  • 'Fast' line - Blue Line
  • 'Signal' line - Red Line

The 'standard' MACD values for the 'Fast' line is a 12-period exponential moving average and a 26-period exponential moving average MA and a 9-period exponential moving applied to the fastline, this draws 'Signal' line.

  • MACD FastLine - difference between 12 & 26 exponential MAs moving averages
  • MACD Signal-line - moving average of this difference of 9-periods

MACD BTCUSD Analysis and Generating Bitcoin MACD Signals

The MACD is a commonly used as bitcoin trend following technical indicator and works most efficiently when analyzing bitcoin trending bitcoin price movements. The 3 common strategies of using MACD to generate bitcoin signals are:

Crossovers BTCUSD Signals:

MACD Fast Line, MACD Signal-line Crossover:

  • A buy btcusd trading signal gets derived and generated when MACD Fast line crosses above MACD Signal line
  • A sell btcusd trading signal gets derived and generated when MACD Fast line crosses below MACD Signal line.

However, in a strong bitcoin trending market this signal gives a lot of whipsaws, the best bitcoin MACD crossover to use would thus be the MACD Zero Line Crossover Signal that's less prone to bitcoin whipsaws.

MACD Zero Line Cross-over Signals:

  • When the MACD FastLine crosses above the MACD zero center line a buy bitcoin signal is generated.
  • when the MACD FastLine crosses below MACD zero center-line a sell bitcoin trading signal is generated.

MACD Divergence Bitcoin Trading:

Looking for divergences between the MACD and bitcoin price can prove to be very effective in identifying potential bitcoin trend reversal and/or bitcoin trend continuation points in bitcoin price movement. There are 2 types of MACD divergences:

  1. MACD Classic Divergence Bitcoin Signals
  2. MACD Hidden Divergence Bitcoin Signals

MACD Overbought BTCUSD Levels and MACD Oversold Bitcoin Trading Levels:

MACD is also used to identify the potential overbought & oversold levels in bitcoin price action movements.

These overbought & oversold levels are generated if the shorter MACD Lines separate dramatically from the median, this is a signal that bitcoin price action is over extending and it will soon return to more realistic areas.

MACD & Moving Average Crossover BTCUSD System

MACD technical indicator can be combined with other indicators to form a system. A good MACD combination is with the Moving Average cross over strategy. A signal is generated when both bitcoin indicators give a trading signal in same direction.
