Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
- An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a technical indicator used to identify trends in financial markets. It is similar to a Simple Moving Average (SMA), but it gives more importance to recent prices, making it quicker to react to market changes.
- Traders often use EMAs with different time frames: the 50-period EMA helps track medium-term trends, while the 200-period EMA highlights long-term direction. If price stays above the EMA, it can suggest strength or an uptrend; if it falls below, it may show weakness. EMAs are frequently combined with other tools to refine trading strategies.
