A dated Bitcoin example

On , Bitcoin MACD read 3,076.51 on completed daily candles, using MACD · fast 12 · signal 9 · slow 26. This is the dated default calculation; a different candle interval answers a different question.

  1. What does this reading describe?

    A positive histogram means MACD is above its own recent average. MACD can still be below zero, so improving pace is not the same as an established upward trend.

  2. How is it calculated?

    Standard MACD subtracts the 26-candle exponential average from the 12-candle average. Its signal line is a 9-candle exponential average of MACD; the histogram is MACD minus signal. PPO divides the difference by the slow average.

    Shared calculation conventions
  3. What does a worked example look like?

    A fast average of $102,000 and a slow average of $100,000 produce MACD of $2,000 and PPO of 2%. If the signal is $1,500, the histogram is $500.

  4. What does this mean for you?

    Crossings can repeat in sideways periods. Dollar MACD grows with the price level; PPO is the more comparable view across distant price eras.

How does it compare?

MACD compares two smoothed paths. Rate of Change directly compares two closes, making it easier to see what smoothing changes.
