What Is 200 Day Simple Moving Average?

The 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is a widely used technical analysis indicator that represents the average closing price of a stock over the past 200 trading days. It is considered a key benchmark for identifying a stock's long-term trend, smoothing out short-term price fluctuations to give a clearer picture of its overall direction. Traders and investors use the 200 SMA in several ways. The most common interpretation is that if a stock's price is trading above its 200 SMA, it's generally considered to be in a long-term uptrend, indicating bullish sentiment. Conversely, if the price is below the 200 SMA, it's typically seen as being in a long-term downtrend, signaling a bearish outlook. The 200 SMA can also act as dynamic support or resistance levels. In an uptrend, the price may pull back to the 200 SMA and bounce off it, suggesting a buying opportunity. In a downtrend, the price might rise to meet the 200 SMA and then be rejected, indicating a selling opportunity. Furthermore, the 200 SMA is a crucial component in "golden cross" and "death cross" signals, which are widely followed by traders. A golden cross occurs when a shorter-term moving average (like the 50-day SMA) crosses above the 200 SMA, which is a bullish signal. A death cross, the opposite, is a bearish signal.
