Case Study: The Golden Cross chart pattern

The Golden Cross is a bullish breakout chart pattern. This occurs when a short time-period moving average crosses a longer time-period moving average from below. Here we present charts where the 50 day moving average (Red) is crossing the 200 day moving average (Blue) from below, a common combo in technical analysis. While this is generally a bullish stock signal, there will be instances where the signal is wrong. Hopefully, this case study will help you improve your odds of avoiding the losers and buying the winners!
