MACD zero-line cross
The MACD line crossing above zero, which is the 12-day EMA overtaking the 26-day.
The signal-line cross fires early and often. The zero cross is the slower, sterner version, because MACD above zero means the fast average is now above the slow one outright. It confirms a trend change instead of anticipating one. Rare on any single day. The names that fire it with price already above the 50-day are usually several weeks into a turn that has further to run.
