Exponential moving average gives more weight to recent prices. It reacts faster to price changes than simple moving average.
Used to identify trend direction and dynamic support/resistance levels.
EMA12 crosses above EMA26 + Price > EMA200
EMA12 crosses below EMA26 + Price < EMA200
Price bounces on EMA = support/resistance
Buy Signal : Buy: EMA12 > EMA26 > EMA200 + Price above 3 EMAs for 3 candles
Sell Signal : Sell: EMA12 < EMA26 < EMA200 + Price below 3 EMAs for 3 candles
Triple confirmation for patient traders. Rare but very reliable signals with well-established trend.
Buy Signal : Buy: Golden Cross (EMA12 crosses above EMA26) + Price > EMA200
Sell Signal : Sell: Death Cross (EMA12 crosses below EMA26) + Price < EMA200
Recommended classic strategy. Perfect balance between frequency and signal quality.
Buy Signal : Buy: Price bounces on EMA12 in uptrend (price > EMA200)
Sell Signal : Sell: Price rejects EMA12 in downtrend (price < EMA200)
For active traders. Multiple entries possible but requires constant monitoring.
Try EMA 9/21/55 (Fibonacci numbers) for more reactivity. These periods follow natural market cycles and give excellent results on crypto and forex.
ALWAYS check EMA200 on higher timeframe! If price < EMA200 on 4H but > EMA200 on 15min = weak signal. Never trade against higher TF trend.
In strong uptrend, EMA12 acts as dynamic support. Price often bounces on it. Use for multiple entries in trend with stop below EMA26.
Flat EMA = NO trend, avoid! EMA with steep slope = strong trend, ideal for trading. Slope angle indicates movement strength.
Wait for candle close! Ongoing crossing can be false signal. Confirm with complete candle and volume.
EMA200 is the most important trend filter. Trading against it = high risk. If price < EMA200, favor sells!
One EMA is not enough. Use minimum 2 EMAs for crossings, ideally 3 to filter overall trend.
