What is a long-moving average array?

A long moving average array includes the Candlestick charts, as well as the short-term, medium-term, and long-term moving averages, that are ordered from top to bottom and all point upward. For example, if you find the Candlestick charts, the MA5, the MA30, the MA60, and the MA120 are aligned from top to bottom and heading upward in the daily Candlestick charts, you can determine those lines are arranged in a long pattern form.

When a long moving average array appears, it means all positions are profiting in every period of the moving average, and the market is in a bullish trend.

In practice, the price might have been on the rise for a long time before the long-term moving average is formed.
