Make Trends Stand Out-Moving Averages

MA, short for Moving Averages, averages a security’s closing prices over a specific period.

For example, a stock’s 5-day moving average is calculated by dividing the sum of the closing prices for the last 5 days by 5. It represents the average trading price for the stock over the past 5 days.

A "bearish crossover" occurs when the stock price crosses the moving average to the downside, signaling a potential downtrend.
