It identifies the change in trend of the price of a security by combining two groups of exponential moving averages with different time periods.

It consists of a short-term group of moving averages containing six short-term moving averages. Six long-term moving averages would be included in the group of long-term moving averages.

According to Gupply, the default short-term and long-term averages are listed above.

As a result, 12 moving averages are plotted together as a Gupply Moving Average indicator.

Short-term averages moving above long-term averages indicate the possibility of a strong upward trend. In contrast, when the short-term group of averages falls below the long-term group of averages, it indicates the possibility of a strong downward trend.

According to Guppy, the GMMA provides advance warning of impending trend changes.

The high distance between the short-term and long-term averages indicates a strong trend. Converging lines, on the other hand, show a weak trend and high volatility.

Overall, trending moving averages show the strong upward trend when the short-term group is above the long-term group. A strong downtrend is evident when the short-term moving average is below the long-term moving average. Overlapping moving averages indicate a consolidation or volatile market trend.
