Golden Cross

Bullish Crossover

Definition

When short-term moving average crosses above long-term MA

Explanation

A golden cross is a bullish technical signal where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average. It suggests the trend is turning upward. The opposite—when short-term crosses below long-term—is called a "death cross" (bearish signal).

Example

50-day MA crosses above 200-day MA = Golden Cross
