[Question] Using MA (moving average) for BTC-USD chart or any stock

Hi Forum,

I am sorry to ask this question as I understand it maybe frustrating and may frustrate some pros. I would like to understand how to use MAs. The chart in this article Chart .

So they use a 5 day and a 10 Day MA. Ok great, however the 5 and 10 are units and it really depends on what your units are, Hourly would be 5 hour MA and daily would be 5 day MA..... I think i get that, so to interpret a chart, how do you know which unit to choose. In the screenshot HERE Screenshot.

RIGHT: Hourly units from the 16th . Left: Daily units from the 16th.

In the right the 20 MA shows a support, in the left the 20 MA shows a resistance, so how does one know which unit to take / set the chart to since applying the same MA yields diff results
