The '''rising moving average''' is a technical indicator used in [[Finance:Stock market|stock market]] trading. Most commonly found visually, the pattern is spotted with a moving average overlay on a stock chart or price series. When the moving average has been rising consecutively for a number of days, this is used as a buy signal, to indicate a rising trend forming.

While the rising moving average indicator is commonly used by [[Finance:Investor|investor]]s without realising, there has been significant backtesting on historic stock data to calculate the performance of the rising moving average. Simulations have found that shorter rising averages, within the 3- to 10-day period, are more profitable overall than longer rising averages (e.g. 20 days). These have only been tested on US equity stocks however.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.stockmarketfreedom.com/how-to-invest/Follow-the-Rising-Trend.html |title=Follow the Rising Trend |access-date=2012-07-05 |archive-date=2013-10-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029190227/http://www.stockmarketfreedom.com/how-to-invest/Follow-the-Rising-Trend.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
