In the world of technical analysis, there are few chart patterns as widely recognized and celebrated as the golden cross. This occurs when a stock’s short-term moving average (usually the 50-day) crosses above its long-term moving average (usually the 200-day). This is often seen as a bullish signal, indicating that the stock is breaking out of a downtrend and entering a period of uptrend.
But before you jump on the bandwagon and start buying every stock that experiences a golden cross, it’s important to remember that no technical indicator is foolproof. Always do your own research before making any investment decisions.
That being said, a golden cross can be a helpful tool for identifying stocks that are worth further investigation. So, let’s take a look at stocks that saw golden crosses today:

Today’s golden cross could be a sign that the uptrend still has room to run.
