Moving Average - MA
Probably the most commonly used variable in technical analysis. Moving Average is showing the price trend of a security during a defined period of time. This period of time can be 20, 30, 50, 100 or 200 days.
By creating long or short term charts, technical analysts can predict price movement of a security in the future period. Long term Moving Average is more accurate than the short term Moving Average because short term prices are far more volatile.
