Plain-language summary

What this metric tells you

Price vs SMA 100 shows how far the current price sits above or below the 100-day average. It turns a moving average into a readable percentage gap instead of just another line on a chart.

Key takeaway

This is a location metric. It tells you where price sits relative to trend support, not whether that trend is stable enough to trust blindly.

FoxScore context

How FoxScore uses it

  • FoxScore uses this metric when users want trend location beyond the very short term but without the full lag of the 200-day line.
  • It often helps identify assets that are not just bouncing, but already re-established above a firmer baseline.
  • The signal is still only location, so it should be paired with broader quality context.

How to interpret this metric

What it measures

  • Whether price is trading above or below the 100-day average.
  • How stretched or compressed the move currently looks on a a mid-term basis.
  • A quick percentage form of trend location that is easier to compare across assets than raw chart levels.

How to read it

  • Positive values mean price is above the moving average.
  • Negative values mean price is below the moving average.
  • Values near zero mean price is hovering close to that trend reference.

What can mislead

  • Whether the move is smooth or messy.
  • You equate a high positive gap with safety.
  • You ignore volatility and drawdown context when a move looks stretched.

Most useful when

  • You want to know whether a move is still above an important trend baseline.
  • You compare assets on short-, mid-, or long-term location depending on the chosen average.
  • You want a fast trend-location filter before looking at deeper trend or risk metrics.

Important limits

  • Whether the move is smooth or messy.
  • Whether the distance is healthy trend leadership or simply overheating.
  • Whether a recent crossover happened yesterday or months ago.
Methodology and sources

Description

This metric compares the current price to the 100-day moving average (SMA 100).

It’s a mid-term variant between SMA50 and SMA200.

Calculation

  • (price / sma_100) − 1

Interpretation

  • Higher is generally better.
  • Very high values can also look ‘overheated’-always view alongside drawdowns and volatility.
