Smoothed Moving Average

SMMA

Uses Wilder's smoothing formula (the same method behind RSI and ATR) to produce a very slow, noise-resistant trend line. It gives older data less weight than SMA but smooths more aggressively than EMA.

Tips

SMMA is nearly identical to a 2×period − 1 EMA; use it when you want a clean trend line that ignores short-term spikes
It works especially well as a long-term trend filter on weekly or monthly crypto charts
