200-day moving average


Definition
An indicator used by traders to determine a stock's closing average over a period of 200 consecutive days. Most traders use this technical indicator to determine trends in the market. In theory, those stocks that continue to close above the 200-day line would be considered healthy, but often those stocks are considered volatile because they usually reverse course and head downward.
