Death Cross

« Back to Glossary Index

A death cross in crypto is formed when a slower moving average crosses the faster-moving average in the upward direction. The most common moving averages that are used by day traders are the 50-day moving average and the 200-day moving average. In such a case, the slower moving average has to cross the faster-moving average from below for a death cross to be created on the trading charts.
