✨ Golden cross stocks
3 matches · updated 2026-08-24 after the US close
A golden cross forms when a stock's 50-day moving average crosses above its 200-day moving average — a classic signal that medium-term momentum has turned up relative to the long-term trend. This page scans 100 of the largest US stocks after every market close and lists the ones whose golden cross happened within the last five trading sessions.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a golden cross a buy signal?
- It's a trend-confirmation signal, not a guarantee. Because moving averages lag price, the cross often appears well after a rally has started — many traders use it to confirm a new uptrend rather than to time an entry. Test it risk-free with virtual money before trading it with real capital.
- How often is this list updated?
- Once per trading day, after the US market close.
- What is the opposite of a golden cross?
- A death cross — the 50-day moving average crossing below the 200-day. We scan for those too on the death cross page.
