Yahoo Finance Starwood Property Trust (STWD) Crossed Above the 200-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors
Starwood Property Trust (STWD) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, STWD crossed above the 200-day moving average, suggesting a long-term bullish trend.
The 200-day simple moving average is widely-used by traders and analysts, and helps establish market trends for stocks, commodities, indexes, and other financial instruments over the long term. The indicator moves higher or lower together with longer-term price moves, serving as a support or resistance level.
