Death Cross

10 stocks matched · Updated daily after market close

A Death Cross is the opposite of the Golden Cross: it occurs when the 50-day moving average falls below the 200-day moving average. This pattern signals a structural shift to a long-term bearish trend. Stocks in Death Cross territory should be treated with caution by long-term investors. However, if accompanied by very low RSI readings, they can occasionally represent deep-value entry points for contrarian investors.
