What the stochastic bullish cross is
Below 20, the fast stochastic line crossed above the slow one.
Imagine a swing that has gone as far back as it can and starts to come forward again. The stochastic is a gauge from 0 to 100 that shows where price closed compared with its recent highs and lows. Below 20 means price is near the bottom of its recent range, and a bullish cross there hints the swing may be turning.
