❓ What is a moving average and why is it needed?Moving Average (MA) - the average price over a certain period.1. The 200-day MA shows the average price over the last 200 days. When the current price falls below the average, it means that sellers dominate the market. And buyers for the last 200 days have been in the red on average.
2. For analysis, traders use 2 averages: with a large period (MA200) and with a short period (MA50). When MA50 crosses MA200 upwards, it indicates a short-term buying momentum and a possible transition of the trend into a bullish phase. If the short-term average crosses the long-term one from top to bottom - a sell signal.
3. It is important to understand that all averages are late and only show averaged past values. Some people use the MA as a dynamic trend line, or support / resistance line. There are many strategies, but any indicator is just a tool, not a secret grail with a 100% win rate.
