The golden cross is a bullish breakout pattern formed from a crossover involving a security's short-term moving average (such as the 15-day moving average) breaking above its long-term moving average (such as 50-day moving average) or resistance level. As long-term indicators carry more weight, the golden cross indicates a bull market on the horizon and is reinforced by high trading volumes.
The moving averages show the price trends over time. Going up is good, going down is bad. When a golden cross happens it is recognized as an indication that the overall long term trend has shifted from bearish to bullish. The Golden Cross should happen tomorrow or Wednesday. We should get a flood of new investors as it will be picked up on a ton of screeners.
