This is the last moving average that I use, and it just confirms the trend. The opposite applies if we are going from a bear or down trending market to a bull market.Īnd the EMA 200? This line I usually colour grey and make it dashed. We wouldn’t be in the market anyway when this happens, because the green would have stopped us out, but if the reversal continues, our next trade signalled by the red line would be short. If they come down and cross this signals a change in the trend, and we would think of trading short rather than long. Normally, in an uptrend, the red and green are above the blue. On the other hand, the third line, SMA 60, which I colour blue, gives us information. The first two lines give us signals for action, and can be used on their own for trading, although I like to use other factors to confirm the trades. SMA 40 is a great basic indicator of an exit point, and you will also become familiar with others to enhance your trading performance. You have to remember that you don’t make a profit (or a loss) until you sell, and you need to pay attention to your ‘exit’ so that you maximise your opportunity. Just to digress again, I think that people place too much emphasis on finding a perfect ‘entry’, that is, the absolute ‘best’ time to buy. If we are shorting the stock, the green still gives us the signal, but obviously it’s when the price goes above. If the price goes below the green, the stock is sold and we have our profit. Generally, that will automatically lock in our gains. It gives us a moving stop loss, and if we have a stop loss in the market, then we should move it according to this line. This is a very useful line, as it shows us when to get out of the trade. The next average, SMA 40, the 40 day average, I usually make green. For example, when the trend is up and the price is above the red line, I look at opening a long trade, buying the stock. The trade will be long or short, depending on the trend. The shortest term average I use, SMA 20, which I like to colour red, is the signal to open a trade. The principle is that when a line or price crosses another line, which is a definite and unambiguous signal, we can relate it to a particular action that we want to take. You always need to remember the use of all these lines, so we’ll go over it now. It’s unusual to see anything other than a day used in this context, though. The number after the average is how many days (or time periods, if you’re using something other than a day) are averaged. Actually, there are some other types, but I won’t bother to explain them here, as these are all we need for our trading. If you remember, there are two types of moving average – the simple moving average (SMA) which is just an ordinary average as we know them, and an expo-nential moving average (EMA) which adds more significance to recent data (makes it closer to the current value). They are called moving averages, as they move each day – the oldest value is dropped off, and the newest picked up, to go towards today’s moving average. Investing in or trading crypto assets comes with a risk of financial loss.You should know what moving averages are from your previous studying, but if you don’t, they are the average value of the last so many days of values, and they smooth the prices out so that you can see better which way and how much they are moving.

Its most recent support is 12% below the current price of around $0.0800, while its recent barrier is around $0.1000. The analysis is suggesting that the price will make a major bearish move after taking resistance from the 200 EMA. The RSI line moving toward the oversold levels suggests that it may continue the bearish correction. The current RSI value is 34.72 while the 14 line is trending near the median line around 42.30 points. The RSI line is currently moving in a downtrend taking constant resistance from the 14 SMA. Hence the chances are that after this breakout, the EMA’s divergence may continue moving in a downtrend. These breakouts are mostly predicted to be made either in a bullish or bearish direction, However, in the Stellars’ instance, the price is currently trading below a major resistance level. Presently, the faster-moving exponential moving averages are making an EMA convergence, which is often observed before a significant breakout. The XLM price recently made an extremely bearish EMA crossover where the price, after crossing below the 20/50/100 EMA, made a breakdown below the 200 EMA.
