Crypto traders have several tools for assessing cryptocurrency markets. One is the approach known as Technical Analysis. Using this method, traders can gain a better understanding of market sentiment and isolate a significant trend in the market. This data can be used to make more educated predictions and wiser trades.
Trend Lines
Trend lines,, or the typical direction of a coin, can be very useful for crypto traders. It is said that isolating this trend can be easier said than done. Crypto assets may be very unstable, and observing a graph of Bitcoin or crypto price movement might reveal the highest and lowest price options that form a linear pattern.
With that in mind, Traders can understand that they can ignore volatility and find an uptrend when looking at the highest price series, and vice versa - they can identify a downtrend as they see a series of declines.
In addition, there is a trend that moves sideways, and in this case, the coin does not move significantly in either direction. Traders should be aware that trends come in many forms, including medium, long-term and short-term trend lines.
Moving averages
This is another tool for technical analysis and technical analysis in general, to simplify trend recognition, called moving averages. Moving averages are based on the average price of a coin over a period of time. For example, a moving average on a given day will be calculated at the price of a coin for each of the 20 trading days prior to that day. Connect all moving averages to form a line.
It is also important to recognize the exponential moving average (EMA), the moving average that gives greater weight in its calculation of the price value of the last few days than the previous day. An example is the coefficient of the last five days of trading EMA 15 days will be double than the previous ten days.
In the following graph, we can see a practical example: If the 10-day moving average is above the 30-day moving average, it will probably tell us that there is a positive trend to come.
