How to Use MACD:

There are three common ways in S&P 500 Index (^SPX) technical analysis to interpret the SPX MACD:

1. Crossovers of the MACD and the MACD Signal Line - when the MACD falls below the signal line, it indicates that it may be time to sell. Conversely, when the MACD rises above the signal line, it suggests that the price is likely to rise. Crossovers of the MACD and the Signal Line are equivalent to the moments when the MACD Histogram crosses the zero line.
2. Crossovers of the MACD and the zero line - A crossing of the MACD line up through zero is interpreted as bullish, or down through zero as bearish.
3. Divergence of the price and the MACD - When the security price diverges from the MACD. It signals the end of the current trend.
