EMA
Exponential Moving Average
Technical AnalysisA type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information than simple moving average.
Formula

Why it matters
Traders use 20-day and 50-day EMAs for trend identification. Price above EMA suggests uptrend. EMA crossovers generate buy/sell signals.
