Therefore, this research work aims to show how the bullish (positive) divergence of the MACD histogram can be speculated with purchase operations in the stock market. In this sense, for this study with a descriptive purpose and bibliographic and documentary means, stocks which companies are from different economic activities were selected, being Magazine Luiza (MGLU3) and VALE S.A.

The simulated opportunities supported trades with capital gains ranging from 5% to 38% in less than 80 consecutive days.
