MA Support & Resistance Levels

MAs can be used as points of support & resistance on charts.

When price reaches the moving average, the Moving Average level can act as a point of support or resistance for the price.

Buy Trading Signal

If price is on an upward trend and starts to retrace, then most traders might wait to buy at a better trading price when the price hits a support level. Traders will sometimes use the Moving Average to determine the support level.

A buy signal gets generated when price hits the Moving Average, turns and starts moving in the upward trend direction. The signal is confirmed when price closes above the MA. Because many traders use the MAs to generate signals, trading price will normally react to these zones.

A stoploss should be set just below the Moving Average indices trading Indicator. Ideally it should be set a few pips below the previous low.
