MACD vs Moving Average Convergence Divergence

MACD stands for Moving Average Convergence Divergence, a trend-following momentum indicator that tracks the relationship between two exponential moving averages to identify trend direction and momentum shifts.

Moving Average Convergence Divergence is the full name of the MACD indicator, describing how two exponential moving averages move toward each other, apart from each other, and in opposing directions to signal trend momentum changes.
