Moving Average Crossover

Moving average crossovers are used to confirm the current trend and determine whether a stock has a bullish or bearish sentiment.

A shorter moving average (e.g. 50 SMA) crossing above a longer moving average (200 SMA) is normally considered a bullish sign. On the other hand, a longer moving average (200) crossing above a shorter moving average (50 SMA) is considered bearish.
