Oscillation of MACD Indicator
MACD is an oscillator technical that moves up & down around a zero centerline mark. The centerline is the neutral measurement, values/readings above the zero mark will reflect bullish trend while values below show bearish market trend.
The MACD is also used to indicate over-bought and over-sold levels. When MACD reaches over-extended levels, then a xauusd is overbought or oversold. However, in a strong upwards trending market prices will stay over-bought in this case it is better to buy.
Also in a strong down trending market its better to sell, because prices will stay in the over-sold region for a long time.
Overbought levels form way above the zero line while oversold levels form way below zero line.
