crossover
When one line on a chart crosses another, like a fast average passing a slow one, which can hint that the direction is changing.
The fuller meaning
One line crossing another: most often a fast moving average crossing a slow one, such as EMA 9 over 21 or the 50/200 golden and death crosses, or MACD crossing its signal line. Crossovers lag price and whipsaw in sideways markets, so traders read them with trend and level context.
crossover, also called bullish cross, bearish cross.
