How to Identify Trend Reversals Using Guppy Moving Averages.

Let’s examine how to identify trend reversals using Guppy moving averages.

The crossover of the short- and long-term moving averages represents trend reversals.

If the short-term EMAs cross ABOVE the long-term moving averages, this is a bullish crossover.

The bullish crossover indicates that a bullish reversal has occurred.

If the short-term EMAs cross BELOW the longer-term ones, this is a bearish crossover.

The bearish crossover suggests a bearish reversal is occurring.

How to Identify a Lack of Trend

When the moving averages between the two groups are close together and approximately parallel.

This demonstrates that the shis ort-term market sentiment and long-term trend are largely in agreement.

When both groups of EMAs are moving horizontally, or mostly moving sideways and heavily intertwined, it means the price lacks a trend.

In the chart above, see how when the red and blue groups of EMAs are intertwined.

The price is directionless, simply moving up and down within a range.

This current price action is more suitable for range trading.

As a trend trader, it would make sense to sit out and wait for better conditions.

When the market is sideways, trend traders sit on the sidelines.
