Ways to use moving averages

1. Trend identification

If the price is above the moving average → the market is in an uptrend (buy signal).

If the price is below the moving average → the market is in a downtrend (sell signal).

If a short-term moving average (e.g. 10 EMA) is above a long-term moving average (e.g. 50 SMA) → the market is bullish.

2. Crossover Signals

Golden Cross: When the short-term moving average (50 SMA) crosses above the long-term moving average (200 SMA) → buy signal.

Death Cross: When the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average → sell signal.

3. Dynamic Support & Resistance

A moving average can act as both support and resistance.

Example: The 200 EMA usually acts as a strong support or resistance.

4. Filtering with other indicators

For better signals, use moving averages with indicators like RSI or MACD.

Example: If the 50 EMA is showing an uptrend and the RSI is also above 50 → a strong buy signal.
