Master the Golden & Death Crossovers โ The Signals That Traders Swear By for Bullish & Bearish Trends!
What is a Golden Crossover? (Bullish Signal) ๐
A Golden Cross occurs when a short-term moving average (e.g., 50-day MA) crosses above a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-day MA) from below.
๐ It signals the start of an uptrend, suggesting that bullish momentum is building up.
What is a Death Crossover? (Bearish Signal) ๐
A death cross happens when a short-term moving average (e.g., 50-day MA) crosses below a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-day MA) from above.
๐ It signals the start of a downtrendโindicating that selling pressure might increase.
How to Use Golden & Death Crossovers in Trading
โ Step 1: Confirm the Crossover
Higher volume during the crossover = More reliable signal
โ Step 2: Pair with Other Indicators
Use RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (moving average convergence divergence), and support-resistance levels.
Example: If RSI is below 40, MACD forms a negative crossover, and thereโs a breakdown of key support levelsโa Death Cross strengthens the sell signal.
โ Step 3: Trending Markets Work Best
Golden & Death Crossovers work best in trending markets.
They may fail in sideways conditionsโso always confirm with other indicators!
