Observing Moving Averages: Traders generally utilize a combination of two or more moving averages lines, which include a smaller period followed by a larger period, like a 20- period, 50-period and a 200-period moving average. An uptrend forms when three lines, the 20- period 50-period and 200-period moving average lines are rising. A downtrend forms when these moving average lines are falling. Markets constantly evolve. Most of the patterns we have examined thus far require set price points. While identifying key prices is important, we would like the flexibility to adjust as prices move. This brings technical tool—moving averages (MA).
As the name indicates, moving averages look at trailing price data to identify trends. Doing so allows the flexibility of incorporating current information without the burden of deciding which specific points carry the greatest weight. By smoothing out an average, we can let the picture develop and trade accordingly.
Most people will use a simple moving average (SMA). This approach averages all price points equally over a given time period. To take a 20-day SMA we would look at the last 20 days’ prices, assign each a weighting of 5%, and calculate the average. This is the process I prefer as the data remains pure and I do not influence the outcome. However, some traders believe recent data should receive precedence and weight those numbers more heavily. Whichever approach you choose, make sure you understand how the numbers are calculated. Generally, longer time periods work better for trends while shorter time periods are used for reversals. Longer MAs show less volatility than shorter ones.

Technical Facts about Ambev S.A. (ABEV): The Relative Strength Index value of ABEV is 44.68. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was developed by J. Welles Wilder. He first spoke about his system in a book called New Concepts in Technical Systems which was released all the way back in 1978. RSI compares the magnitude of a stock’s recent gains to the magnitude of its recent losses. From there a number is derived between 0 – 100 to distinguish that comparison. For a 14-period RSI, the Average Gain equals the sum total of all gains divided by 14. It doesn’t matter if there were only 8 gains during those 14 trading days, the number is still 14. The Average Loss is found in a similar manor.
There are a few things you need to know:
Overbought – A stock is overbought if the RSI shows a level above 70.
Oversold – A stock is oversold if the RSI shows a level below 30.
The centerline for RSI is 50. Understanding the main concept is very simple. If the stock is showing an RSI less than 50 we can say that the average losses are greater than the average gains, and with RSI above 50 we can say that the average gains are greater than the average losses.
