The Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA) is a technical indicator that identifies changing trends, breakouts, and trading opportunities in the price of an asset by combining two groups of moving averages (MA) with different time periods.
The GMMA consists of a short-term group of MAs and a long-term group of MAs, both containing six MAs, for a total of 12, and is overlaid on the price chart of an asset.
The short-term MAs are typically set at 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 15 periods.
The longer-term MAs are typically set at 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 60.
When the short-term group of averages moves above the longer-term group, it indicates a price uptrend in the asset could be emerging.
Conversely, when the short-term group falls below the longer-term group of MAs, a price downtrend in the asset could be starting.
