Analysis of Moving Average(MA) Indicator

Trend Identification

The Stock Index moving average indicator can be used as an indicator for generating signals. A buy or sell Indices signal is derived & generated when price either moves above or below the moving average, respectively.

If the MA is heading upwards in diagonal sort of manner then the general Indices market trend is upwards.

If the on the other hand the MA is moving downward in diagonal sort of manner then the general Indices market trend is downward.

Upward Indices Trend/Bullish Trend

If the Moving Average is moving up, then the Indices trend is upward & the signal derived and generated is a buy/bullish signal.

As long as the Indices price is above the moving average then the Indices trend will remain as an upward trend. The moving average will act as a "support level" & price action of Indices trade chart candles shouldn't close below the MA.

Buy Signal

When the Indices price moves above MA & closes above the moving average, a buy Stock Indices signal is generated.

Traders, that want to confirm the Indices signal before implementing it, should wait until the MA Moving Average line turns and begins to move in an upward Indices trend direction. It's always best to wait out for the confirmation Indices signal so as to reduce odds of a whipsaw.
