Moving average

A moving average is a statistical tool that is used to smooth out short-term fluctuations in data and reveal longer-term trends. It is calculated by taking the average of a certain number of data points over a specific period of time, and then plotting that average as a line on a chart. The most common types of moving averages are simple moving averages (SMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA).In financial markets, moving averages are often used to analyze stock prices, exchange rates, and other types of financial data. They are used as a way to identify trends and make buy and sell decisions. For example, if a currency pair is above its 200-day moving average, it is considered to be in an uptrend, and if it is below its 200-day moving average, it is considered to be in a downtrend. Additionally, when a short term moving average crosses above a long term moving average, it is considered a bullish signal, suggesting that the currency pair is likely to rise, and vice versa.Popular moving averages in currency trading include the:200-day moving average100-day moving average50 or 55-day moving average21-day moving averageMoving averages are also used in monthly, weekly and hourly periods in technical analysis and a 200 day moving average might be referred to as the 200 DMA or the 200 day MA.
