Analysis of Moving Average Indicator

Trend Identification

The MA can be a technical way to make signals: a signal to buy or sell happens when the price goes above or below the MA, respectively.

If the MA is heading upward in diagonal manner then general market trend is upwards.

If the Moving Average (MA) trends downward diagonally, it indicates a general bearish market trend.

Upward Trend/Bullish Trend

Should the MA be ascending, the trend is upward, thereby generating a buy or bullish signal from the analysis.

As long as the price remains situated above the moving average, the market's trajectory will continue to be classified as an upward trend. The Moving Average will serve as dynamic 'support,' and the chart candles' closing prices should not breach below the MA.

Buy Signal

A buy signal is triggered when the price crosses above the Moving Average (MA) and the subsequent closing price remains above it.

Traders seeking confirmation for a trade signal before its execution should delay action until the Moving Average (MA) line reverses and begins to ascend. It is always preferable to await this confirming trading signal to minimize the probability of experiencing a whipsaw event.

Downward Trend/Bearish Market

If a Moving Average (MA) trends downward, it signals a bearish trend and suggests selling or shorting opportunities.

If price stays below the MA, the bearish trend holds. The MA serves as resistance, so candlesticks do not close above it.

Sell Trade Signal

A sell signal is triggered when the market price crosses below the moving average and subsequently closes beneath it.

To confirm the signal, wait for the MA line to turn. It should start moving down. This cuts the risk of a false move.
