    A golden cross and death cross refer to when a short-term moving average crosses over a long-term moving average, signaling a change in market trend. A golden cross occurs when the short-term average crosses above the long-term, suggesting a long-term bull market. Conversely, a death cross occurs when the short-term average crosses below the long-term, foreshadowing a long-term bear market. Technical analysts use these golden and death cross signals, which are formed by intersecting moving average trend lines, to identify transitions between bull and bear markets.

    A golden cross suggests a long-term bull market while a death cross suggests a long-term bear market. They occur when a short-term moving average crosses above or below a long-term moving average.

    A golden cross occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average, signaling an upward trend. It involves an initial downtrend ending, the short-term average crossing above the long-term average, and a continuing uptrend.

    A death cross occurs when a short-term moving average crosses below a long-term moving average, signaling a downward trend. It involves the short-term average trending down and crossing below the long-term average, signaling a decisive downturn.

    Golden Cross vs. Death Cross: What's the Difference?

    Technical analysis involves the use of statistical analysis to make trading decisions. Technical
    analysts use a ton of data, often in the form of charts, to analyze stocks and markets. At times, the
    trend lines on these charts curve and cross in ways that form shapes, often given funny names like
    "cup with handle," "head and shoulders," and "double top." Technical traders learn to recognize
    these common patterns and what they might portend for the future performance of a stock or
    market.
    A golden cross and a death cross are exact opposites. A golden cross indicates a long-term bull
    market going forward, while a death cross signals a long-term bear market. Both refer to the solid
    confirmation of a long-term trend by the occurrence of a short-term moving average crossing over
    a major long-term moving average.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    • A golden cross suggests a long-term bull market going forward, while a death cross suggests
    a long-term bear market.
    • Either crossover is considered more significant when accompanied by high trading volume.
    • Once the crossover occurs, the long-term moving average is considered a major support
    level (in the case of the golden cross) or resistance level (in the instance of the death cross)
    for the market from that point forward.
    • Either cross may occur as a signal of a trend change, but they more frequently occur as a
    strong confirmation of a change in trend that has already taken place.
    Golden Cross
    The golden cross occurs when a short-term moving average crosses over a major long-term
    moving average to the upside and is interpreted by analysts and traders as signaling a definitive
    upward turn in a market. Basically, the short-term average trends up faster than the long-term
    average, until they cross.
    There are three stages to a golden cross:
    • A downtrend that eventually ends as selling is depleted
    • A second stage where the shorter moving average crosses up through the longer moving
    average
    • Finally, the continuing uptrend, hopefully leading to higher prices
    Golden Cross.
    Death Cross
    Conversely, a similar downside moving average crossover constitutes the death cross and is
    understood to signal a decisive downturn in a market. The death cross occurs when the short term
    average trends down and crosses the long-term average, basically going in the opposite direction
    of the golden cross.
    The death cross preceded the economic downturns in 1929, 1938, 1974, and 2008. There have
    been many times when a death cross appeared, such as in the summer of 2016, when it proved to
    be a false indicator.

    Death Cross.
    Special Considerations
    There is some variation of opinion as to precisely what constitutes this meaningful moving average
    crossover. Some analysts define it as a crossover of the 100-day moving average by the 50-day
    moving average; others define it as the crossover of the 200-day average by the 50-day average.
    Analysts also watch for the crossover occurring on lower time frame charts as confirmation of a
    strong, ongoing trend. Regardless of variations in the precise definition or the time frame applied,
    the term always refers to a short-term moving average crossing over a major long-term moving
    average.
