What the 200-day moving average is
The 200-day moving average is the average closing price of the last 200 trading days, about ten months. Many investors read a price above it as a rising market and a price below it as a falling one.
It does not predict: it only shows where the price has been. A rule built on it usually cuts the deepest losses but pays for that with many false switches when the market moves sideways.
This is market data, not a recommendation to buy or sell. Past behaviour does not predict future prices.
