The Moving Average is also known as MA - is calculated as an average of trading price using the recent most trading price data.

To calculate the ten day Moving Average the price of the last 10 days is averaged, the trading moving average indicator is then updated constantly after every new trading price period. So after every new trading price period is formed the moving average is then calculated afresh using the most recent 10 xauusd trading price periods, that is why it is called a moving average because the average is constantly moving when the price data is updated.
