A small clarification: 1h MACD is still positive, just the divergence went negative.
MACD is a lagging indicator, the divergence is less lagging. This term confusion happens a lot in these forums.

Possible way to explain it to someone with physics/math background:

TA math physics

price function coordinates
MACD first derivative speed
divergence second derivative acceleration

Thanks for that! It actually helps.
You should write a dictionary for TA-challenged scientists like me Grin

i agree, as an engineer this makes perfect sense.

TA sometimes is easy, but some charts are very confusing.
