Description
The SMA200 (Simple Moving Average) is the average closing price over roughly the last 200 trading days.
Moving averages smooth short-term noise and show the longer-term direction more clearly.
In practice, SMA200 is often used as a rough trend line: above it is considered more “bullish”, below it more “bearish” - but that’s only a heuristic.
