CHART OF THE DAY
A Simple Way To Measure The Market’s Health ⚖️
There are various ways to measure whether stocks are in a bull or bear market, but one of the easiest is to use a basic trend indicator like a moving average. 🔍
Stocktwits user @lcc007 demonstrated this in practice, overlaying prices with the most commonly used long-term moving average, the 200-day. His chart shows that volatility typically picks up, and “bad things happen” when stocks are below that indicator.
And with prices battling that level currently, all eyes are on whether the stock market can maintain its bullish trend or if the recent volatility is here to stay. 🤔
