Moving Average Structure: Coiled vs Extended
When a stock's moving averages are sitting close together, it usually means the stock is in a quiet, consolidating phase. Direction isn't very clear yet. But when the averages start spreading out in order, it often means momentum is building, and the stock is in a stronger trend.
Here's the interesting part: a stock can be trading at similar prices at two different times, yet its short-term moving averages can look very different. At one point the averages might be close together, suggesting the stock is coiled and building energy. At another point they might be spread out, showing that momentum is already strong. These differences in structure often influence how the stock behaves over the following days.
Instead of just looking at the stock's price, this tool focuses on the shape and spacing of the moving averages. It then shows you how the stock has historically behaved after similar setups in the past, so you have better context on what's likely to happen next.
