Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SMA and EMA?
Simple Moving Average (SMA) gives equal weight to all days in the period. Exponential Moving Average (EMA) gives more weight to recent prices, making it react faster to trend changes.
What is a Golden Cross?
A Golden Cross occurs when a short-term moving average (like the 50-day) crosses above a long-term moving average (like the 200-day), signaling a major bullish trend reversal.
Are moving averages leading or lagging indicators?
Moving averages are lagging indicators. They confirm established trends but cannot predict tops or bottoms before they happen.
