The day simple moving average is considered such a critically important trend indicator that the event of the day SMA crossing to the downside of the day SMA is referred to as a " death cross ," signaling an upcoming bear market in a stock, index, or other investment.
In like fashion, the day SMA crossing over to the upside of the day SMA is sometimes called a " golden cross ," referring to the fact that a stock is considered "golden," or nearly sure to rise in price once that happens. It is possible that there is also something of a self-fulfilling prophecy aspect to the day SMA; markets react strongly in relation to it partially just because so many traders and analysts attach so much importance to the indicator. Some traders, however, prefer to follow the exponential moving average EMA.
While the simple moving average is computed as the average price over the specified time frame, an EMA gives greater weight to the most recent trading days.
