What is a moving average?

A moving average (MA) smooths out day-to-day noise by averaging a stock’s closing price over a set number of periods, revealing the underlying trend. This tool shows both types across seven windows — 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 and 200 periods — so you can see short, medium and long-term trends at a glance.

SMA vs EMA — and what each period tells you

Type / periodMeaningHow to read it
SMA (Simple)Equal-weighted average of closesSmoother, slower to react — good for the underlying trend.
EMA (Exponential)Weights recent prices moreFaster to react to new moves — good for timing.
5–20 periodShort-term trendReacts quickly; used by intraday & swing traders.
50 periodMedium-term trendA widely watched line; price above 50-MA is a healthy uptrend.
200 periodLong-term trendThe classic bull/bear dividing line for investors.

Price above the MA = bullish

For each period, if the stock trades ABOVE its moving average the verdict is bullish (buy bias); below it is bearish (sell bias). Counting how many of the seven are bullish gives a quick trend score.

Crossovers that matter

Golden Cross: the 50-MA crossing above the 200-MA is a widely followed long-term bullish signal.
Death Cross: the 50-MA crossing below the 200-MA is a long-term bearish signal.
Price reclaim: a stock reclaiming its 200-day average after time below it often marks a trend change.
Dynamic support/resistance: rising MAs often act as support in uptrends; falling MAs act as resistance in downtrends.

Moving averages lag

Because they average past prices, MAs confirm trends rather than predict them. Use them with momentum tools like RSI and MACD for timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 50-day MA reflects the medium-term trend and the 200-day MA the long-term trend. A stock trading above both is in a healthy uptrend; below both is a downtrend. When the 50-day crosses above the 200-day (Golden Cross) it is bullish; the reverse (Death Cross) is bearish.

The Simple Moving Average (SMA) weights every price in the window equally, so it is smoother and slower. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) gives more weight to recent prices, so it reacts faster to new moves. Traders often use EMA for timing and SMA for the broader trend.

A Golden Cross is when a shorter moving average (typically the 50-day) crosses above a longer one (typically the 200-day), signalling that medium-term momentum has turned up through the long-term trend — a widely watched bullish event. The opposite is a Death Cross.

This tool checks seven periods (5 to 200). The more of them the price trades above, the stronger and more broad-based the uptrend. A stock above all seven is strongly bullish; below all seven is strongly bearish; mixed readings suggest a transitioning or range-bound trend.

We compute both SMA and EMA for the 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 and 200 periods from one year of the searched stock’s daily closing prices, and mark each bullish or bearish based on whether the current price is above or below it.
