MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)

The MACD line is holding above the signal line, but the upward movement of the histogram is slowing down. this indicates that the upward momentum is weakening, and sideways movement or a correction is expected in the near term.

  • intermediate-term (20-day): $117,000
  • long-term (50 days): $108,000
