Does MACD Agree on GBPUSD and NQ? (5-minute Charts)
Educational reference. Measured from recorded market data through September 5, 2026. Not a forecast.
MACD measures momentum, as the distance between two moving averages. This page asks a narrower question than the price comparison: when MACD moves on British Pound / U.S. Dollar, does it move the same way on E-mini Nasdaq-100?
| Bars where MACD moved on both | 5,629 |
|---|---|
| … and moved the same direction | 3,089 (54.9%) |
| Price correlation, same period | +0.471 |
MACD disagrees more than price does. Prices correlate at +0.471, which would suggest agreement near 66%. MACD manages 54.9%. The two markets move together while this reading does not — the gap is where a divergence setup would show up.
Why this is not the same as the price question
Two markets can move together while their momentum, trend strength or volatility do not. A reading that agrees far less than price suggests is exactly where one market is losing steam while the other keeps going — and a reading that agrees more is tracking something shared that direction alone does not capture.
