Oscillation of the MACD

MACD is an oscillator that swings around a zero line. Above zero means a bullish trend. Below shows bearish moves.

The MACD can also be utilized to indicate zones of over-extension (overbought or oversold). When the MACD reaches extremely high or low values, it signals that a currency is overbought or oversold. However, in a vigorously rising market, prices might remain in an overbought state, making a buying action the preferable decision in such a scenario.

Also, when the market is strongly going down, it's better to sell because prices will stay very low for a while.

Overbought levels occur way above zero line while over-sold conditions/levels form way below zero mark.
