A favorite tool of many trading systems are the moving averages, that easily show market direction. A moving average is the average price of a stock over a set period of time. Usual time periods used for moving averages are 21 days, 50 days, 100 days and 200 days
Investors use supports and resistances as a way to find price points in the stock price action that tend to behave as obstacles, preventing the price of an asset to move in certain direction. A support level is a level where the price may find support as it falls. This means that the price is more likely to "bounce off" this level rather than break through it.
