Moving Average Tracks What Most Market Tools Bury

Moving Average is a sponsor of this site.

Moving Average is a web tool that tracks simple moving averages for stocks, cryptocurrency, and major indices. It doesn't bundle in screeners, earnings calendars, or social sentiment feeds. The product covers one thing and presents it cleanly.

What It Tracks

The platform covers the four standard SMA periods that technical analysts use most: the 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day. Those timeframes correspond to roughly one trading month, one quarter, one half-year, and one full year of trading activity. They're the ones most traders reference when talking about trend confirmation.

Moving Average tracks these across US stocks and crypto in one place. When a shorter SMA crosses above a longer one, you get a Golden Cross signal. When it crosses below, a Death Cross. Both are surfaced automatically so you don't have to watch charts manually to spot them.

The data updates in real time, and you can save your most-watched assets and SMA configurations so you're not rebuilding your view every session.

Who It's Built For

The pitch is explicitly for both new and experienced traders. The interface reflects that. There's nothing that requires prior knowledge of technical analysis to use, but it's not simplified to the point where it stops being useful for someone who already knows what they're looking for.

Pricing is straightforward: a free tier at $0/month covers the core functionality, and a premium tier at $5.99/month unlocks expanded capabilities including the API, email price notifications, and CSV export. For something this focused, the free tier covers most use cases unless you're pulling data programmatically.

Why It's Worth Noting for Digital Media Operators

Moving averages are relevant to anyone managing money as well as content. A lot of people running digital businesses have equity positions in tech companies, hold crypto as part of a broader asset mix, or watch market conditions when deciding whether to raise rates on ad inventory.

Most market tools bury moving average data under layers of features that were designed for full-time traders. Moving Average's approach is the opposite: one thing, done properly, without the feature accumulation that makes most financial platforms feel like they were built for someone else. For someone who checks the 200-day SMA on a handful of tickers a few times a week, that's a better fit than opening a Bloomberg terminal.
