200-Day Moving Average

The 200-day moving average is one of the most important indicators in technical analysis. It helps you recognize long-term trends quickly and understand whether an asset is showing strength or weakness. Wavealert allows you to display both the 50-day and 200-day trendlines directly in the asset chart — and set alerts when these lines are crossed.


Why the 200-day moving average matters

This indicator provides a clear picture of long-term momentum:

  • Price above the 200-day line: often signals a sustained uptrend
  • Price below the 200-day line: may indicate long-term weakness
  • Large deviations: can highlight potential buy or sell opportunities

Combined with the 50-day line, you get a compact overview of short- and long-term dynamics.


Displaying trendlines in the chart

In each asset’s detail view, you can enable the 50-day and 200-day moving averages with a single tap.

You immediately see:

  • long-term trend direction
  • whether key support or resistance levels are being tested
  • how price reacts around major trendlines

Alerts for crossing the 50-day or 200-day line

Wavealert notifies you automatically when an asset crosses either trendline — upwards or downwards.

This means:

  • no need to monitor charts constantly
  • no missed trend reversals
  • your strategy reacts automatically to technical signals

Example:

You track a long-term ETF and want to buy only if a new uptrend forms.
Wavealert alerts you as soon as the ETF breaks above the 200-day line — including news and your personal notes.
