What the stochastic bearish cross is

Above 80, the fast stochastic line crossed below the slow one.

Imagine a swing that has gone as high as it can and starts to come back. A stochastic above 80 means price closed near the top of its recent range. A bearish cross there hints the swing may be turning back down.
