MA Support and Resistance Zones

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

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

Buy Trading Signal

If the 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 identify the support zone.

A buy signal is derived and generated when price hits the Moving Average, turns and starts heading in the upward trend direction. The signal is confirmed when the price closes above the Moving Average. Because many traders use the MAs Moving Averages to generate trade signals, trading price will generally 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.
