Golden Cross
When a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average, signalling a potential long-term uptrend.
The Golden Cross is one of the most watched technical signals. The opposite (Death Cross) is when the 50-day falls below the 200-day and often signals a bear market. It works best on weekly or daily charts.
It's the moment the fast runner overtakes the slow runner and everyone cheers because the race direction has changed.
Real world: When the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average on the S&P 500, traders call it a Golden Cross and often buy stocks expecting a bull market.
💡 Golden Cross is one of the simplest and most powerful trend-change signals in stock trading.
