What is MA Crossover Setup?
The Moving Average (MA) cross appears on a chart when a stock's short-term moving average (20 Simple Moving Average) crosses above its mid-term moving average (50 SMA). As long-term indicators carry more weight, the MA cross indicates a bull market on the horizon and is reinforced by high trading volumes.
There are mainly three stages to a MA cross. The first stage requires that a downtrend eventually bottoms out as selling is depleted. In the second stage, the shorter moving average forms a crossover up through the larger moving average to trigger a breakout and confirmation of trend reversal. The last stage is the continuing uptrend for the follow through to higher prices.
MA Cross is popular, simple and easy to spot on charts. Moving averages can be powerful when understood correctly; however they are simple and easiest tool for developing trading setup. The MA Crossover setup is believed to be one of the most reliable & popular among traders community.
