Custom Median MA

50
The 50-day moving average (50-DMA) is a popular technical analysis indicator used to identify the intermediate-term trend of a financial asset. It is calculated by averaging the closing prices of the asset over the past 50 trading days. As a lagging indicator, it smooths out price fluctuations and helps traders and investors identify potential support and resistance levels.

When the price is consistently above the 50-DMA, it often signals an uptrend or bullish market sentiment. Conversely, if the price remains below the 50-DMA, it may indicate a downtrend or bearish sentiment. Crossovers involving the 50-DMA are also closely watched. For instance, a "golden cross" occurs when a shorter-term moving average (e.g., 20-day) crosses above the 50-DMA, suggesting potential upward momentum. A "death cross" is the opposite and can signal a downward trend.

The 50-DMA is widely used because it strikes a balance between short-term sensitivity and long-term stability. It is applicable across various markets and timeframes, including stocks, indices, and cryptocurrencies.
