Death Cross
A Death Cross is when a shorter term moving average crosses below a longer term moving average, for example a 20 day SMA crossing under a 50 day SMA. A death cross indicates a bearish trend, especially when it is coupled with higher trading volume. As well as being a trend indicator, the longer term moving average becomes a resistance line as the price rises.
The chart below shows a 20/50 SMA Death cross:
20 SMA is in Red
50 SMA is in Blue
