On this page is an Ethereum Daily Moving Average Calculator. This tool helps analyze the daily moving averages (DMAs) of Ethereum over a selected timeframe. You can calculate and visualize daily moving average crossovers, which can indicate potential bullish or bearish trends in ETH.
Using the Ethereum Daily Moving Average Calculator
To effectively use this tool to analyze daily moving averages in an Ethereum investment, follow these steps:
- Starting Date: Enter the date when you want to start analyzing moving averages.
- Ending Date: Enter the date when you want to stop analyzing moving averages.
- Moving Average Periods: Enter the number of days for the two moving average periods you want to compare (e.g., 50 and 200 days).
- Calculate: Click the Calculate button to view the moving averages and potential crossovers.
- Graph: Click the Graph button to visualize the moving averages and crossovers on a chart.
Understanding moving average crossovers is useful. They can indicate potentially bullish or bearish trends in the value of Ethereum, providing insights into the ETH market's momentum.
Special Features
The Ethereum Daily Moving Average Calculator offers a few unique features:
- Moving Average Calculation: Calculates the moving averages for the specified periods over the selected date range. If you use the Calculate button, it displays the crossovers in a table for your reference.
- Crossovers: Identifies potential bullish and bearish crossovers in a table, helping you understand market trends during the selected time frame.
The last trend in the date range is highlighted in blue. Note that the first trend in the table can only be as long as the date window you give (it won't look for crossovers outside the date range.) - Interactive Graphs: Visualize moving averages and crossovers with interactive charts that highlight the crossovers.
The chart subtitle displays the current trend, and all crossovers are labeled with 📈 or 📉 emojis (bullish and bearish crossovers, respectively). You can hover to see the DMAs you chose, or the price of ETH.
Why moving averages matter for Ethereum
Moving averages are a popular technical analysis tool used to "smooth out" price data and identify trends in cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.
A common strategy is to use two moving averages of different lengths, such as the 50-day and 200-day moving averages – the defaults in the tool. When the shorter moving average crosses above the longer one, it can signal a bullish trend known as a "golden cross". Conversely, when the shorter moving average crosses below the longer one, it can signal a bearish trend known as a "death cross".

Methodology and data sources
The calculator uses historical price data for Ethereum from CoinGecko and from Ethereum Price History. We've also built an Ethereum Return Calculator, an Ethereum Drawdown Analyzer, and an Ethereum to USD tool, and a USD to Ethereum tool.
