A Golden Cross occurs when a short-term moving average (e.g., 50-day MA) crosses above a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-day MA) from below.

👉 It signals the start of an uptrend, suggesting that bullish momentum is building up.

A death cross happens when a short-term moving average (e.g., 50-day MA) crosses below a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-day MA) from above.

👉 It signals the start of a downtrend—indicating that selling pressure might increase.


Step 1: Confirm the Crossover

  • Higher volume during the crossover = More reliable signal

Step 2: Pair with Other Indicators

  • Use RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (moving average convergence divergence), and support-resistance levels.

  • Example: If RSI is below 40, MACD forms a negative crossover, and there’s a breakdown of key support levels—a Death Cross strengthens the sell signal.

Step 3: Trending Markets Work Best

  • Golden & Death Crossovers work best in trending markets.

  • They may fail in sideways conditions—so always confirm with other indicators!


🔹 Golden Crossover in Nifty 50

  • If Nifty 50 forms a Golden Cross (50-day MA crosses above 200-day MA), traders may anticipate buying interest and enter long positions.

🔹 Death Crossover in Nifty 50

  • If 50-day MA crosses below 200-day MA, traders may expect further downside and look for short-selling opportunities.
