What is a Golden Cross?
A Golden Cross is a basic technical indicator that occurs in the market when a short-term moving average (50-bars) of an asset rises above a long-term moving average (200-bars). When traders see a Golden Cross occur, they view this chart pattern as indicative of a strong bull market.
