Crypto traders all understand that to analyze past market trends, they look at candlestick charts; to catch the current rhythm, they focus on minute and short-term cycles. But what truly excites people is always the prediction of future movements. At this point, many traders turn to MACD — its reputation is well-known, and it is even regarded by many as the "King of Indicators."



Why do so many trust it? Simply put, MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) can help you clearly see the trend of the coin's price movement, and its prediction accuracy is relatively high, which is quite rare in technical analysis.

The composition of MACD is actually not complicated: one zero line plus three lines. The zero line is in the middle of the chart, serving as the horizontal reference line. The three lines are the DIF line (fast line, more volatile, fluctuates frequently), the DEA line (slow line, less volatile, smoother curve), and the MACD histogram (composed of short vertical bars, red when rising, green when falling).

How to understand strength and weakness? It's simple: above the zero line is the strong zone, and when the fast and slow lines are running here, it indicates the coin is in an upward trend; below the zero line is the weak zone, and when the fast and slow lines move below, it means the coin is weakening. When you see the green line getting shorter or the red line getting longer, it often indicates that the trend is shifting from weak to strong, and many traders will pay close attention at this moment.

the zero-axis as an alchemical threshold... fascinating really. that convergence/divergence transmutation between DIF and DEA is where the protocol's true equilibrium reveals itself. most traders just chase red candles tho, they miss the deeper yield dynamics at play here.

Still hyping MACD as the king of indicators? I think, with this thing, it can also be deified. Ultimately, it still depends on intuition. Having been cut multiple times, I realize that indicators are all lies; the key is mindset and position. I've seen the MACD green line shorten before, but the result was still a crash—what a bloody lesson, everyone. I've heard too many theories about the zero line being above or below, but the problem is, it can't save you when you're bottom-fishing. Watching the lines every day is not as good as watching the wallets of big players; that's the real prediction. Prediction? Ha, it's still gambling in honesty. MACD is just a tool for psychological comfort.

MACD is indeed useful, but I think more often it still depends on intuition and luck.

Basically, MACD is a probability game; its accuracy still depends on your own execution ability.

They're all tricks; trusting MACD is less reliable than trusting your own intuition.
