MACD Center line crossovers generate signals using the center line mark. The sentiment of the market can be confirmed using the MACD center line crossovers. MACD xauusd crossover above the center line mark generates bullish market sentiment while crossover below the center-line generates bearish market sentiment.

• When the FastLine crosses below the MACD Line (not center-mark) it shows market momentum is slowing - this is not a reversal signal or a sell signal, wait for the center mark crossover.
• When the Fast line crosses above the MACD Line (not center mark) it shows the market momentum is slowing - this is not a reversal signal or a buy signal, wait for the center mark crossover.
• The Center-Line crossover signals will be the best trading signals for validating buy and sell signals.

Using the XAUUSD chart in the example shown below, when MACD fast line crossed below the zero center mark, the sell signal was confirmed and the market sentiment changed to bearish - downwards gold trend.

Oscillation of the MACD Indicator

The MACD indicator is an oscillator that moves up and down around a zero center line mark. The center-line is the neutral measurement, values above zero will indicate bullish market trend while values below indicate bearish gold trend.

The MACD indicator is also used to indicate overbought and oversold levels. When the MACD reaches overextended levels, then a xauusd is overbought or oversold. However, in a strong upward trending market prices will stay overbought in this case it's better to buy.

Also in a strong down trending market its better to sell, because prices will stay in the oversold region for a long time.

Overbought conditions occur above the zero line while oversold conditions occur way below the zero mark.
