EMA pair · 9/26
9/26 EMA crossover
on NIFTY & BANKNIFTY.
MACD-adjacent. The slow side comes straight from MACD's default 26-period setting.
The 9/26 pair sits between the standard intraday 9/21 and the MACD-default 12/26. Many YouTube and chart-school strategies recommend it as a swing-trade trigger on 15-min and 1-hour Indian-index charts. It generates fewer signals than 9/21, more than 12/26 — a balanced fast-vs-slow combination.
