A cross below zero signals a shift to bearish momentum. * **Slope and Peaks/Troughs:** The steepness of the line indicates the strength of the momentum. Extreme peaks and troughs can signal potential momentum exhaustion. -### Building a Full MACD System (Recommended Use) +### Building a Full MACD System for Testing (Recommended Use) -The primary purpose of this indicator is to be combined with a signal line. +The primary purpose of this indicator is to serve as a clean base for visually testing different types of signal lines.
