Associated Banc-Corp (ASB):
Which moving averages are most important?
Longer-term investors and swing operators often monitor the simple 50-day moving average. This moving average will react faster than a 200-day moving average. The 50-day moving average is useful for identifying medium-term trends, while the 200-day moving average focuses only on the long-term trend.
Oscillation traders will focus primarily on short-term trends, as they want to enter and exit the market in a few days or weeks. These types of operators typically use simple or exponential moving averages of 20 days, 10 days, five days, or a combination of them. Since these moving averages will react quickly enough to price changes, commercial signals appear more often, it is hoped that it will alert the short-term trader to opportunities. The lower the moving average, the more closely the price movement is tracked. The 200-day moving average shows only the overall price trajectory, while the progressively shorter average averages follow increasingly smaller price trends.

How to interpret the volume of stocks?

The volume of shares is the number of shares exchanged during a given period of time. The volume represents the level of interest in an action. If a stock is traded at low volume, there is not much interest in the stock. But, on the other hand, if a stock is trading at high volumes, then there is much interest in the stock. The volume simply tells us the emotional excitement (or lack thereof) in a title.
