Exponential Moving Average

The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a moving average that gives greater weight to more recent prices, making it more responsive to new data than a simple moving average. It is calculated using a smoothing factor and is commonly used to identify near-term trend direction.

Example: On a daily price chart, the 20-day EMA is plotted alongside the price to illustrate near-term momentum.
