MACD Crosses Above Zero Line
The MACD line closes above zero after being at or below it on the previous candle, with price above the 20 EMA. The short-term average has moved above the longer-term one.
About This Scan
The MACD line is the fast EMA minus the slow EMA. When it crosses above zero, the fast average has moved above the slow one, which many traders read as momentum turning positive. This scan lists NSE stocks whose MACD line closed above zero on the latest candle after being at or below zero on the previous one, with price above the 20 EMA and Rs 5 Cr of last-session turnover. It is different from the MACD Bullish Cross scan, which tracks the MACD line crossing its signal line. The mirror scan is MACD Crosses Below Zero Line.

How To Use This Scan
- •Zero-line crosses lag price. They confirm a move that has already started, so use them with a level or a breakout, not alone.
- •Look for volume or a close above a recent high on the cross day. A cross in a sideways market often reverses.
- •Combine it with the MACD Bullish Cross scan: a signal-line cross below zero followed by a zero-line cross shows momentum building.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the MACD crossing above zero mean?
The fast EMA is now above the slow EMA, so the average price has been rising over the recent period. Traders read it as bullish momentum.
How is this different from a MACD signal-line crossover?
The signal-line crossover compares the MACD line with its own average. The zero-line cross compares the two EMAs behind it. Zero-line crosses are rarer and slower.
Can I use it on intraday charts?
Yes. Switch the interval to 15m or 1h in the screener. The default is the daily chart.
