A golden cross happens when a shorter moving average (the 50-day SMA) crosses above a longer one (the 200-day SMA), signalling that the medium-term trend has overtaken the long-term trend to the upside. It is one of the most-watched bullish events in all of trading.
Because it is slow and lagging, the golden cross filters out noise but can fire well after a bottom and whipsaw in sideways markets. It is best read as trend confirmation alongside momentum and market regime, not as a standalone buy. Read the full golden cross & death cross guide.
