MACD measures momentum, as the distance between two moving averages. This page asks a narrower question than the price comparison: when MACD moves on Micro E-mini S&P 500, does it move the same way on E-mini Nasdaq-100?

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.
