- The MACD is an oscillating indicator, fluctuating above and below zero. It is both a trend-following and momentum indicator.
- The RSI is another oscillator, with its movement between zero and 100. MACD oscillates around the zero line in both positive and negative values.
- OBV takes a lot of volume information and compiles it into a single one-line indicator. The indicator measures cumulative buying/selling pressure by adding the volume on up days and subtracting volume on down days.
1: MACD is made out of 2 moving averages(slow/fast) and histogram. It helps us verify the direction of the trend. When fast ma goes above slow and histogram get to positive value, weāre having up trend. When fast goes under slow and histogram go to negative value, we have down trend.
2: MACD is used to determine direction of the trend, rsi is mainly used to determine if market is overbought or oversold. From rsi we can also determine if the graph is making bulish/bearish divergence. Even though rsi and macd are used for different things, they correlate in the direction.
3: OBV is one line indicator based on volume which is showing if there is more presure from bears or bulls

What is MACD and how is it used? Moving Average Convergence Divergence marks accelerating trending points in time which may indicate possible trading signals. Itās an indicator oscillating around 0. If it goes above zero for a sustained period of time, the trend is likely up; if below zero for a sustained period of time, the trend is likely down. Potential buy signals occur when the MACD moves above zero, and potential sell signals when it crosses below zero.
Signal line crossovers provide additional buy and sell signals. A MACD has two linesāa fast line and a slow line. A buy signal occurs when the fast line crosses through and above the slow line. A sell signal occurs when the fast line crosses through and below the slow line. -
What is the difference between MACD and RSI?
RSI is also an oscillator but moving between 0 and 100. " One way to interpret the RSI is by viewing the price as overbought and due for a correction when the indicator in the histogram is above 70, and viewing the price as oversold and due for a bounce when the indicator is below 30.
In a strong uptrend, the price will often reach 70 and beyond for sustained periods, and downtrends can stay at 30 or below for a long time. While general overbought and oversold levels can be accurate occasionally, they may not provide the most timely signals for trend traders."
- What is OBV and how is it used?
On-Balance Volume is an indicator that measures buying and selling pressures by adding the volume on up days and subtracting volume on down days.
āIf OBV is rising and the price isnāt, price is likely to follow the OBV and start rising. If the price is rising and OBV is flat-lining or falling, the price may be near a top. If the price is falling and OBV is flat-lining or rising, the price could be nearing a bottom.ā

- The MACD is the moving average convergence divergence and it is a oscillating indicator that is used to to look for crossovers, it works by indicating a trend that is accelerating. The two moving average crosses on the histogram. Fast and slow line setup. If the fast crosses above the slow it is a moving average. When fast crosses below the slow it is a sell signal.
2 . The RSI is a signal line value that ranges between 0-100. It is use to indicate whether an instrument is overbought or oversold.
- OBV is the On-Balance Volume it is a measurement of the cumulative buying and selling pressure of the instrument.

Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is an oscillating indicator, which indicated both the Trend and momentum. It fluctuates between below zero and above zero. MACD has two lines- one fast moving and one slow moving. We check on which side of the zero are the MACD lines on. If they are above zero for a sustained time, it indicates that the trend is up, and if it is below zero for a long time, it means that the trend is down. Using the two lines together, if the fast lines goes through and above the slow line, it indicates buy; similarly if the fast line goes through and below the slow line it indicated sell.

Both MACD and RSI are oscillating indicators. However in the MACD the indicator is above and below zero, however in RSI the indicator lies between 0 to 100. Contrary to MACD which indicates the trend and buy/sell on the basis of it, the RSI indicates the overbought and oversold market. If the RSI is above 70, indicates overbought stock, and a RSI of 30 indicates an oversold stock. If in a overbought the trend is up, buy in short term, and go short (sell) in the short term. If the long term trend is up, and the RSI falls below 50 and then up, it indicates a pullback and is a good buy signal.

OBV is a volume indicator. OBV measures cumulative buying and selling pressures. It is calculated by adding volumes on high day and subtracting volumes on low days. OBV generally confers with the price trends. OBV is high on upward trend and low in downward trend. If suppose the OBV is rising and the price isnāt, it suggests that the price will follow OBV and will start rising soon.
- MACD is a trend-following and momentum indicator. It sits on a 0-axis and consists of two MAās (fast and slow) that travel above and below the equilibrium. Above suggests an upward trend and can be a signal to buy. Below suggests a downward trend and can be a signal to sell. Another position indicator is when the fast and slow MA cross one another. The focus being that if the fast MA crosses above the slow MA, then the signal is to buy and equally when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA it can be seen as a signal to sell.
- MACD suggests a trend in a certain direction, whereas an RSI is typically used to tell if something is overbought/oversold and can assist in spotting reversals.
- OBV adds buy pressure and subtracts sell pressure to display a cumulative sum and can be used to confirm trends by measuring the buy or sell pressure.
- What is MACD and how is it used?
MACD is an oscillating indicator used to predict whether a trend is bullish (above the zero line for an extended period of time) or bearish (below the zero line for an extended period of time).
- What is the difference between MACD and RSI?
MACD oscillates above and below zero while RSI from 0 to 100.
- What is OBV and how is it used?
On-Balance volume is the cumulative buying/selling pressure which adds volume on green days and subtracts volume on red days. Itās used to indicate rising or falling price trends.

1. What is MACD and how is it used?
A: Its an oscillating technical indicator which fluctuates above and below zero. If the histogram lines are above zero for a sustained period of time, the trend is likely up. Below zero is likely down. It also has a fast and a slow signal lines.
Buy signals on MACD are when histogram moves above zero and when fast line moves through and above slow line. Sell signals are when histogram moves below zero and when fast line crosses through and below slow line.
2. What is the difference between MACD and RSI?
A: While both are considered momentum indicators, the MACD measures the relationship between two EMAs, while the RSI measures price change in relation to recent price highs and lows.
3. What is OBV and how is it used?
A: If OBV is rising and the price isnāt, price is likely to follow the OBV and start rising. If the price is rising and OBV is flat-lining or falling, the price may be near a top. If the price is falling and OBV is flat-lining or rising, the price could be nearing a bottom.
Can also indicate that the price is likely to continue trending higher after the pullbacks.

On-balance volume ( OBV ) is a momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict changes in stock price.
- What is MACD and how is it used?
- MACD is an oscillator that is a momentum indicator and also a trend following indicator. It consists in two MAās which crossover could point a trend changing direction. When the fast MA crosses the slow MA it could indicate a swing in the direction of the crossing.
It has a 0 in its histogram and if MAās are above of 0 for a sustained period of time means that trend is positive. Viceversa, trend is negative.
- What is the difference between MACD and RSI?
- RSI indicates has different values in its histogram, from 0 to 100, if RSI is above 70 means that price is overbought, below 30 price its oversold. Reaching overbought and oversold zones could provide a signal of a swing in opposite direction of the trend.
Also the 50 of the RSI can be a signal level for an eventual bounce.
The difference is that MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period EMA from the 12-period EMA, and triggers technical signals when it crosses above (to buy) or below (to sell) its signal line. The RSI compares bullish and bearish price momentum plotted against the graph of an assetās price, where signals are considered overbought when the indicator is above 70% and oversold when the indicator is below 30%.
- What is OBV and how is it used?
- OBV is an indicator that converts information from Volume and compiles it in a single line indicator. The indicator measures cumulative buying/selling pressure by adding the volume on up days and subtracting volume on down days.
Ideally, the volume should confirm trends. So a rising price should be accompanied by a rising OBV; a falling price should be accompanied by a falling OBV.
Eventually in OBV indicator could be drawn a trendline on highs or lows to filter swings: a downswing without OBV crossing a support level (in the trendline drawn in its histogram) could indicate that the original uptrend will go ahead.
If OBV is going on a direction but price is not doing the same, price is likely to follow soon OBV in its direction
If OBV stays flat while price is going up, it could mean that price is near a resistance level.

1. What is MACD and how is it used?
MACD is a Moving Average Convergence Divergence that helps indicate the āmomentumā of a trend. If the MACD continues to post above the zero line, this is a buy signal. If itās below zero, this is a sell signal.
2. What is the difference between MACD and RSI?
RSI - relative strength index - indicates the likelihood that an asset is oversold or undersold. It uses a scale from 0-100. The MACD indicates the momentum of following a trend. Itās scale is above or below 0.
3. What is OBV and how is it used?
OBV - On-Balance Volume - measures the buying and selling pressure for your asset for any given day. OBV will typically correlate with price activity and may, therefore, be a good indicator of what to expect. I liked the example of watching for a variation between āOBVā and āpriceā behavior to predict the near future. If OBV is rising, but price is flat, price will likely go up soon. If price is rising and OBV is flat, price will likely go down soon.

1. What is MACD and how is it used? The moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) is a technical analysis indicator that aims to identify changes in a share priceās momentum. The MACD collects data from different moving averages to help traders identify possible opportunities around support and resistance levels.
2. What is the difference between MACD and RSI? While both are considered momentum indicators, the MACD measures the relationship between two exponential moving averages, while the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) measures price change in relation to recent price highs and lows. These two indicators are often used together to provide analysts a more complete technical picture of a market.
3. What is OBV and how is it used? On-balance volume (OBV) is a technical trading momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict changes in stock price.
The MACD is a trend following and momentum indicator. It oscillates around the zero line. When the indicator is above zero it indicates a positive trend and if it is below zero it indicates a negative trend.
In Contrast the RSI can be used to show the end of a trend in the form of overbought or oversold signals. Below 30 shows oversold conditions and above 70 shows overbought.
The OBV can confirm a positive or negative trend by combining various volume information. If price increases with increasing OBV it confirms a strong uptrend. If OBV reduces with price it confirms a down trend.
If on the other-hand OBV remains flat but the price increases or decreases it shows weakness in the trend and a possible reversal. The same would be true if the OBV goes in the opposite direction of the price.
What is MACD and how is it used? The MACD is an oscillating indicator, it uses the moving average to indicate momentum. Above zero, the trend is higher it gives us a buy signal, below zero thed tren is lower, it gives a sell signal.
What is the difference between MACD and RSI?
RSI is another oscillator, moves from 0 to 100. It give us different information that the MACD. When RSI is above 70 it shows overbought territory when it is below 30 it shows oversold territory. Therefore you would sell at overbought prices and buy in oversold prices to get the advantage of the next movement.
What is OBV and how is it used?
It has a lot of information about volume in a single indicator, it can be use to verify the strength of an upward or downward trend.

One basic MACD strategy is to look at which side of zero the MACD lines are on in the histogram below the chart. Above for some time, the trend is likely up. Crossovers provide more info. A buy signal occurs when the fast line crosses through and above the slow line. A sell signal occurs when the fast line crosses through and below the slow line.
2.) The RSI simply indicates when an asset is due for a correction or bounce, where as the MACD is used to guage trends.
3.) OBV is used to guage cumulative buy/sell pressure. It can be used to aid in calling the top or bottom of a trend.
