The 3 Moving Averages I Used as a Market Maker (And the One Everyone Gets Wrong)

This post was originally published on this site

Moving averages explained by a former NYSE ARCA market maker: the only 3 lines your chart needs – the 21 EMA, 55 EMA and 200 SMA.
Including the 200-week line that called every major Bitcoin low, and the famous cross signal most traders read completely wrong.

What you’ll learn: what a moving average actually is (the market’s memory drawn as a line – a sliding window of closes), the lag law – it follows price and never leads it, and why lagging is the point, SMA vs EMA (equal votes vs recent votes), period as memory length (21 remembers a month, 55 a quarter, 200 the year), the starter set and his full livestream stack, the live TradingView setup walkthrough, dynamic support – memory that travels – and confluence with the zones from episode four, the 200-week moving average that called the 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022 Bitcoin lows (backtested across 26 years, 6 assets and 80 touches), the leash – a 5 EMA disconnect rule measured over 5,284 daily candles that almost nobody teaches, golden and death crosses with the slope filter, the silver cross (21 over 55 – the one he actually watches), and the tangle: when moving averages lie. Homework at the end: find one clean respect and one slice-through, drop the ticker and timeframe in the comments, and Claude grades the first fifty.
