# Relative Moving Average (14)

### Introduction

Also known as SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average), uses a smoothing factor to reduce noise. Provides a balance between responsiveness and smoothness.

### How Relative Moving Average (14) Works

The Relative Moving Average (RMA), also known as SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average), uses a smoothing factor to reduce market noise while maintaining trend sensitivity. Calculation: RMA = (Previous RMA × (n-1) + Current Price) / n. This creates a smoother line than EMA but more responsive than SMA.

In crypto strategy building, RMA is used for:

• **Noise reduction** - Filters out minor price fluctuations while preserving major trends • **Long-term trend analysis** - Excellent for identifying primary trends • **RSI calculation** - RSI uses RMA for its internal calculations • **Support/Resistance** - Provides stable dynamic levels

RMA is particularly useful in choppy markets where other MAs might give false signals. The smoothing effect makes it ideal for longer-term strategies.
