Moving Average indicator
Moving Average is an indicator used in technical analysis showing the average value of a security’s price over a set period. MOving Average can show the direction of a trend and to smooth out price. Typically, upward momentum is confirmed when a short-term average (e.g.50-day) crosses above a longer-term average (e.g. 100-day). This is called the “Golden Cross”. The long-term moving average becomes the new support level.
Downward momentum is confirmed when a short-term average crosses below a long-term average. This is called the “Death Cross”. The long-term moving average becomes the new resistance level.

From the image above, chart of Ford, the “death cross” is in the circle. I use the 50-day MA and 100-day MA. After the “death cross”, Ford tumble reaching $1 from $6.
