How Do Moving Averages Show a Trend?

Moving averages are lagging indicators and do not predict new trends. It's very important to remember that while they don't forecast trends, they can help confirm trends after they have been established. A market is in an uptrend when the current price action is above a moving average, and the slope of the average is sloping upward. Conversely, a market is in a downtrend when the current price action is below the moving average, and the slope of the average is sloping downward.

Since moving averages lag behind current price action, it takes longer for the average to turn. Thus, the confirmation of a trend change indicated by the moving average is not solely dependent on the price being above or below the average. In other words, if you have a flat moving average, it doesn't provide useful information.
