Moving averages are calculated by averaging stock prices within a certain period (5, 10, 30, 60, 120, and 250 days) and then connected to form a line. The relationship between the moving averages (MAs) and the price of the day is used as the basis for making trading decisions.
The decline of a MA is gradually flattening, and when the stock price tops the MA from below, it is a buy signal.
After an MA rises, it remains parallel or falls, and when a short-term MA falls below a longer-term MA, it is a signal to sell.
The flip side of a MA would be the backward-looking by nature, as they rely on past data that can never be applied to the future. Therefore not always 100% accurate.
As always, trade with caution.
