What is Golden cross and death cross?
Also called: Golden crossover, Death crossover
Hinglish mein padhein: Golden cross aur death cross kya hota hai?
A golden cross happens when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day; a death cross is the opposite. Both are slow trend signals.
Because both averages lag price, the cross usually appears well after the turn. Many traders use it as confirmation rather than a timing tool.
In sideways markets the averages can cross back and forth, producing false signals.
