A moving average does nothing more than provide additional statistical trading analysis, it should be used to meet your personal trading strategy. Your strategy might not even include a moving average.
Generally you could use a shorter moving average for a shorter expected holding time, but also they are used together to show a major difference in how the short term movement campares to it’s longer term movement.
For example a few years ago I used moving averages in my strategy, I used several moving averages. I looked for Equities that had 20 day moving averages that were falling drastically with 50 day moving averages very high and just starting to fall. hoping to find equities that have been recently over sold.

Usually, 50 days simple moving average on weekly charts in the stock market is use for long term trend following device system.
20 days more often used on daily charts for short term trend.
Now, moving averages works very well in trending markets but poorly in choppy, sideways markets. Be careful, sometimes you will be better off using oscillators like the ADX and MACD.
