EMA (Exponential Moving Average) 38

Exponential moving average used in technical analysis for identifying market trends.

EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is a term used in technical analysis, intended to compensate the distortion of short-term price movements with the aim to identify market trends. Moving averages smooth out the price development, thus shedding light on the overarching sentiment of many market participants. To achieve the smoothing effect, different settings are used. Moving Averages with low setting, including 10, 20 and 38, show short-term trends, longer moving averages like 50, 90, 100 and 200 show longer-term trends.
