The DIF line (Difference Line), also called the "Fast Line", is the core of the MACD indicator. It represents the difference between short-term and long-term Exponentially Moving Averages (EMAS)—specifically, the 12-day EMA minus the 26-day EMA. The DEA line (Signal Line), also known as the "Slow Line", is a smoothed version of the DIF line over a set period. It's typically calculated as a 9-day moving average of the DIF line with independent parameter settings. The MACD Histogram displays the difference between the DIF and DEAA lines, commonly viewed as a dynamic representation of bullish/bearish momentum.
