Identify a crossover by watching for the moment when two moving averages (e.g., the 50-day and 200-day) intersect on a stock chart. A golden cross occurs when a short-term average crosses above a long-term average, signifying a potential uptrend. A death cross happens when a short-term average crosses below a long-term average, indicating a possible downtrend. These patterns are used by traders to predict market shifts and make informed investment decisions.
