Moving Average (MA)

What Does Moving Average (MA) Mean?

An indicator used in technical analysis that shows the average value of the price of a security over a set period. Moving averages generally are used to measure momentum and define areas of possible support and resistance.

Investopedia explains Moving Average (MA)

Moving averages are used to emphasize the direction of a trend and smooth out price and volume fluctuations, or “noise,” that can cloud the analysis of a stock's price movement. Typically, upward momentum is confirmed when a short-term average (e.g.,15-day) crosses above a longer-term average (e.g., 50-day). Downward momentum is confirmed when a short-term average crosses below a long-term average.
