Golden Cross

When the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day MA — long-term bullish trend signal.


A golden cross occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average. It often coincides with early Stage 2 markup but can lag price by weeks.

Swing Edge treats MA stack and Stage 2 context as stronger prerequisites than the golden cross alone — a cross in a choppy market can still fail.
