MACD bearish momentum — histogram below zero
The mirror state: the MACD line is below the signal line and the histogram is negative. Short-term momentum is on the sellers' side.
Signal criteria
Histogram
MACD below the signal line on daily candles. The list is sorted from the deepest histogram
Zone
MACD line above zero — a pullback inside a rally is likely; below zero — momentum confirms the decline
What it means
Momentum has turned down. Like the bullish state, MACD is more sensitive than moving averages: it flags the turn before the averages confirm it.
Common mistakes
- A bearish histogram in a strong trend often turns out to be a pause, not a reversal
- Ignoring the zone relative to zero strips the signal of half its meaning
Worked example
- MACD line
- +1,118.26
- Signal line
- +1,525.37
- MACD histogram
- −407.10
- Price vs SMA(200)
- +14.9%
A negative histogram means downward momentum right now. A MACD line above zero with price over the SMA(200) points to a correction inside a rally; both below — to a consistent decline.
