Unity Software Inc. (U) Crossed Above the 20-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

Unity Software Inc. (U) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, U crossed above the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.

A well-liked tool among traders, the 20-day simple moving average offers a look back at a stock's price over a 20-day period. This is very beneficial to short-term traders, as it smooths out short-term price trends and gives more trend reversal signals than longer-term moving averages.

The 20-day moving average can show signals that are similar to other SMAs as well. If a stock's price is moving above the 20-day, the trend is considered positive. When the price falls below the moving average, it can signal a downward trend.
