Key Uses of Moving Averages: Trend Identification: Moving averages help determine the overall market direction. If the price is above the moving average, it suggests an uptrend, while if it’s below, it suggests a downtrend. Support and Resistance Levels: Prices often respect the moving average as dynamic support or resistance levels. For example, during an uptrend, the price may frequently bounce off the moving average. Crossovers: A common trading strategy involves two moving averages with different periods, such as a fast EMA (like the 9-period) crossing above a slow SMA (like the 50-period). This crossover can signal a potential buy (bullish crossover) or sell (bearish crossover).
