Moving Average

POSTED BY Swing Trader on Mar 18 under Moving Average

Moving averages are used to emphasize the direction of a trend and to smooth out price and volume fluctuations, or “noise”, that can confuse interpretation. Typically, upward momentum is confirmed when a short-term average (e.g.15-day) crosses above a longer-term average (e.g. 50-day). Downward momentum is confirmed when a short-term average crosses below a long-term average.
