Our research institute has officially launched the indicator class, and today is the first lesson!
If everyone feels that the content is practical and wants to learn more indicator techniques, we will continue to update and help everyone thoroughly grasp technical analysis.
Whether it's cryptocurrency or trading US stocks, MACD is known as the king of indicators. Mastering it means you've entered the world of technical analysis, and in future investment discussions, you'll be able to confidently take the lead.
Let's start with the basics of MACD. You can directly open the Hyperliquid oil candlestick chart, and we'll analyze it in real-time, learning as we go.
The reason for choosing US stock oil is that this variety currently has the highest popularity and the most active participation of funds.
After selecting the oil variety, pull out the MACD indicator to see the complete indicator shape.
MACD is composed of three parts: DIF fast line, DEA slow line, and the red and green bars.
The red and green bars represent the difference calculated from DIF and DEA. These basic concepts do not need to be memorized; the more you use them, the more familiar you will become.
I have organized an intuitive diagram for everyone; it's easy to understand at a glance.
The most basic signals of MACD are the golden cross and death cross: DIF crossing above DEA is a golden cross, representing a bullish signal; DIF crossing below DEA is a death cross, representing a bearish signal.
Next, let's enter practical combat. The first core usage of MACD: using DIF crossing the zero line to judge the big trend.
DIF line crosses above the zero line, trend looks bullish;
DIF line crosses below the zero line, trend looks bearish.
We will still take the oil trend of Hyperliquid as an example. Using this method to judge the trend, we can accurately capture the recent waves of decline.
Friends trading CL crude oil can completely use this rule; trend judgment will basically not go wrong.

Learning MACD, divergence is a core concept that must be mastered. I have summarized an original mnemonic for everyone, simple and easy to remember:
Price makes a new high, MACD does not make a new high → top divergence → bearish.
Price makes a new low, MACD does not make a new low → bottom divergence → bullish
We still use the crude oil trend as an example. In this wave of short-term decline, the divergence signal can fully capture significant profits.
From the 5-minute candlestick, it's clear to see that the price peaks are getting higher, but MACD cannot make a new high. This is a standard top divergence. According to the mnemonic, top divergence looks bearish, and entering the market can capture this wave of downward profit.
For varieties like US stocks and crude oil, using a 5-minute cycle for intraday trading is the most suitable;
For long-term allocation, it is still recommended to hold BTC and ETH spot, using about 30% of the funds for short-term trading in crude oil, US stocks, and gold, which is enough for daily expenses.
Hyperliquid has extremely low transaction fees, and on-chain trading is the future trend. Many large institutions in the US stock market are laying out on this platform.
I have organized two advanced tutorials for everyone; I recommend bookmarking them directly:

Lastly, let's talk about the third advanced signal of MACD: aerial refueling.
I have provided a reference based on the price trend of BTC.
Aerial refueling refers to: DIF and DEA are about to form a death cross, but are strongly supported, and the death cross has not formed. The subsequent market is likely to continue to rise.
This signal does not appear frequently, but once it does, the win rate is very considerable. After everyone masters the first two methods, we will further analyze this pattern.
