How to use Moving Average (MA) in crypto trading

Hello, traders!.

Today we will examine how Moving Average can be used as a tool in trading.

Moving Average is one of the most famous and popular coin filters.
The most straightforward application of MA:

• 1) Defining the trend.
  
  Uptrend If MA is upward, downtrend if MA is downward.
  
  
• 2) Determining the strength of the trend.
  
  The greater the deviation of price from the moving average, the stronger is the trend.
  
  
• 3. Signal to buy or sell the asset.
  
  There are two cases that can be considered a buy signal:
  
  - Moving average price crossing from bottom to top;
  - The crossing of the lower MA of the older MA (for example, MA50 crosses MA100) from bottom to top.
  
  The opposite of two cases can be used as a sell signal :
  
  - Moving average price crosses from top to bottom;
  - The crossing of the lower MA of the older MA (e.g. MA50 crosses MA100) from top to bottom.
