>> SMA: **showing plateauing – SMA 7 is below SMA 20**.
- EMA:
faster moving > prone to false curves
incorporate more weight on more recent periods
good to show trend for shorter periods
- up trend, price is above MA line, and vice versa
- cross over of lines = a new trend
- a break out = 20 EMA is broken
>>EMA: still bullish
