10 min readThe Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a mathematical calculation used in technical analysis to smooth out price data points and provide a moving average of an asset's price over a specified period of time. It is similar to simple moving averages (SMA), but it places more weight on recent price data and reacts faster to recent price changes.EMA is calculated by applying a calculation formula that involves using the current price, the previous EMA value, and a smoothing factor.
