Moving averages are indicators for investors to gauge 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 support and resistance levels as a way to identify price points in the stock price action that tend to behave as glass ceiling, containing the price of a stock to move in certain direction. A support level is a level where the price tends to find support as it falls. Price is more likely to "rebound" this level rather than break through it. However, if the price breaks down this level, it is likely to continue descending until finding another support level. On the contrary, resistance levels are where the price may find a curb as it rises. In the same way, this means that the price is more likely to "bounce off" at this level, and if it finally crosses this level, it will rise more easily until it meets the next resistance
The current resistances are:
The current support levels are:
