Moving AverageĀ 

Lest start with the easiest or at least most basic indicator – Moving Average (MA). This is one of the indicators that can help you determine the trend. In other words by using MA you might find the perfect place where the levels of support and resistance are.

The technical part of moving averages is simple. It is basically a tool that is showing us average price that is constantly updated. We can set the timeframe of the average price as we wish.

Same goes to the situation when coin is going down and it bounces down after the hitting MA that is going down.

Golden and Death Cross

Different strategy is using two MAs on the same chart – shorter and longer one. Usually when the short term one is crossing the longer one you can see it as a Buy signal. This bullish market situation is called Golden Cross

Otherwise, if the shorter Moving Average is one is crossing below the longer MA, it might mean that the trend is shifting. This bear signal is called Death Cross.

Before described indicators and enter/ exit positions are just tools to predict the moves of the market – always remember to use stop loss and adjust the strategy to the market.Ā
