📉 The "Death Cross" PatternDeath Cross, 5 Key things to watch
The "death cross" is a market chart pattern that occurs when a short-term moving average falls below a long-term moving average,
indicating recent price weakness. It is often studied using the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. The death cross pattern is more reliable
when confirmed by other indicators such as high trading volume or momentum indicators like the MACD.
These indicators can help confirm that a major trend change is occurring.
🟠 The Death Cross (convergence of moving averages) is a strong indication of a sell-off
🟠 If volume increases after the Death Cross, the downward trend is likely to strengthen
🟠 If price is above moving averages, strong volumes may be needed to suggest a turnaround
🟠 If price is below moving averages, the selling pressure is likely to be severe and any upward corrective moves will face strong resistance
🟠 The first sign of selling pressure weakens as moving averages start to turn upward

Golden Cross
GOLDEN CROSS
1. A golden cross occurs when a faster-moving average crosses a slower moving average.
2. Specifically, you need the 50-period and 200-period simple moving averages.
3. Anything other than these two periods and it is not a true golden cross.
4. The golden cross is a powerful trade signal, but this does not mean you should buy every cross of the 50-period moving average and the 200.
5. You will need to bring a higher level of sophistication to the setup, to ensure you are buying into a trade with real opportunity.
THE THREE STAGES OF A GOLDEN CROSS
1. As the downtrend in the stock market ends, the short-term 50-day moving average moves below the 200- day moving average.
2. In a crossover, when a stock recovers, the short-term moving average crosses over the long-term moving average. That’s where the term golden cross comes from, when the two average lines cross on a chart.

THE THREE STAGES OF A GOLDEN CROSSPROFIT POTENTIAL OF THE GOLDEN CROSS PATTERN
A. DEATH CROSS
1. One option is to wait for a cross of the 50 back below the 200 as another selling opportunity.
2. The only issue with this approach is you are likely to give back a sizeable portion of your profits since moving averages are a lagging indicator.
B. PRIOR SUPPORT
1. What you can also do is look for areas of resistance overhead which will act as selling opportunities for longs that have been holding the stock for a long period of time.
2. A caveat to this strategy is that the stock may consolidate and push higher.
C. TRENDLINE BREAK
1. If the golden cross is real, the signal will likely generate a strong buying opportunity.
2. You can then use the first couple of reactionary lows to create an uptrend line.
3. You then hold the stock until this trendline is broken.
A Death Cross for Bitcoin?I see many people speaking about "The Death Cross" that's just appearing on the Bitcoin chart. The Cross brings some fear with it, and I can't just understand why, since it's not really a concerning one. But let me explain.
A Death Cross is only strong and meaningful as long as Both SMA (50 & 200) are pointing to the downside - both SMA need to be declining. Many Traders do also Check the Volume. If the Volume is Rising with the Cross, its more likely Valid, if the Volume is declining it less likely.
Personally, I don't really use the Volume to Confirm. I check the direction of Both SMA.
Edit: In my Opinion the Death as well as the Golden-Cross are really really bad Indicators since they're lagging really hard.
Don't get fooled!

The SMA cross strategy In this educational idea I’ll cover the SMA cross strategy. I’ll will cover how it works, what my peripheral values are and how it can work for you.
The Simple moving averages cross strategy is a strategy where you buy something on a buy-signal of the indicator and sell it on a target, for example if you had 5% profit.
What is a moving average? A moving average is an indicator which helps you smooth out “noise” in a graph. The indicator is based on a formula you can find the formula below. You can add values to the indicator, let’s say you want a MA of 9 candles you just add a value of 9. You usually use more than one MA, I prefer using a 7 candle MA and a 25 candle MA. The thing I like on moving averages is that you can use them in any time frame.
What is a buy signal? A buy signal is created when the long moving averages (in my case the 25 candle MA) gets underneath the short one (in my case the 7 candle MA). When that happens a buy signal is created. When the opposite occurs it’s a sell order.
How to determine a target. Your goal is to make money, but how can you make as much money as possible with this strategy. You have to determine a goal, so an exit-position. Your exit-position is the hardest thing of this strategy, but you can use an average of what happened before. If the average of positive “breakouts” is for example 5% profit you can use 5% profit as target.
How to use a SMA strategy to make you money. Not all the SMA crosses will lead to profit, most of them are even false “breakouts”. So before you buy something on a buy-signal you have to wait a few seconds and watch what the price will do, when it goes up you buy, when it does nothing of goes down you do nothing. If you want to make money using this strategy you have to set a stop-loss, I recommend to always set a stop-loss not only for this strategy. You can keep your stop-loss really close to your buy order.
