Moving Average Crossover

Definition

A moving average crossover occurs when one moving average line crosses another on a price chart, often signaling a potential change in market trend. This technical analysis tool involves plotting two different moving averages, typically a shorter-term and a longer-term one. A bullish crossover happens when the shorter-term average moves above the longer-term average, while a bearish crossover occurs when it moves below. Traders use these events to identify potential entry or exit points for digital asset trades.
