Moving Average (SMA)

GET /sma

Calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) for any currency pair over a configurable number of days (default 30). The SMA smooths out daily rate fluctuations to reveal the underlying trend. Widely used in technical analysis for forex trading signals - when the current rate crosses above or below the SMA, it can indicate trend reversals. Also useful for setting fair exchange rates in business contracts.
