The MACD Divergence Metatrader 4 forex indicator is a technical indicator that can be used to gauge divergence between the indicator itself and price.
Thereby indicating a high likelihood that the trend in focus will finish soon and is about to reverse.
The MACD is a well-known technical indicator amongst most forex traders, who will almost certainly deploy it to spot reversal trends.
The indicator uses a technique that is dependent on two exponential moving averages, and its main purpose for doing so is to offer a smooth trend indicator.
As the teal and red lines i.e. the moving average lines separate, the blue histogram becomes bigger.
This is known as divergence between MACD and price.
Deploy the indicator for scalping, day trading and swing trading purposes.
