MACD is the difference between a fast (12-period) and slow (26-period) exponential moving average, computed here from real daily closing prices. The signal line is a 9-period EMA of that MACD line, and the histogram is the gap between the two.

FAQ
What does a positive histogram mean?
A positive histogram means the MACD line is above the signal line, often read as bullish short-term momentum; a negative histogram suggests bearish momentum.
What are MACD crossovers?
A 'bullish crossover' happens when the MACD line crosses above the signal line; a 'bearish crossover' happens when it crosses below — both are commonly used as entry/exit triggers.
