golden cross

When a slower average price line climbs above a very slow one, which some people read as a sign prices may be turning up.

The fuller meaning

A bullish moving-average crossover: the 50-period average crossing above the 200-period average, showing recent prices running above the long-term average. It lags and whipsaws in sideways markets, so in this app it is a clue scored like other setups, not a buy signal.
