What does Golden Cross & Death Cross mean?

A Golden Cross is when a stock's 50-day moving average crosses above its 200-day moving average, a classic bullish signal; a Death Cross is the opposite.

A Golden Cross happens when the 50-day SMA crosses ABOVE the 200-day SMA — a classic bullish signal. A Death Cross is the opposite: 50-day cutting BELOW the 200-day, often a bearish warning.
