Yes what Arun failed to mention is when he touted the SPX Golden Cross near 4200 in early Feb  (literally within a few days of topping) and then fell 400 points.  It marketed a trend reversal DOWN - this type of rudimentary analysis is deeply flawed as it does NOT produce consistent results. 

    Can you share me the

    Can you share me the link where I had mentioned SPX golden cross ? 

    personally I don't like things

    personally I don't like things like the 'golden cross' because they were created like 40 years ago before we could all plot charts and indicators, when things were done by hand, it's just so rudimentary and one of the few things they could do back then

    No simple technique like the

    No simple technique like the gold cross has worked since 2021 in a carefully and deliberately manipulated market.

    just go to TradingView and

    just go to TradingView and use one of the many free MA cross systems, and test a bunch of stuff with the 50/200 day MA, then go look at the trades in the past. 

    I blame the media for giving the 50/200 cross the the name ' golden cross' because that makes the general public lazy and think that it's very special, because it has the word 'golden in it' so it's perfect and amazing'

    everyone trading some signal needs to go investigate the data themselves - again easy way is to go and use one of the free MA cross strategies and test a bunch of them - nothing can replace you physically examine the data yourself 

    Yes Matt... appreciate your input.

    Yes Matt... appreciate your input.  And I do get the point  Steve and you are making here. I will also point out the bearish crosses in future to cater to the bearish crowd lol...just kidding

    Junkie still feel we may

    Junkie still feel we may rally into end of March ?  Sentiment is certainly trying to set up. I look at QQQ:SPY ratio at 82 so that is going to have a tough time leading much more .

    The best objective EW view

    The best objective EW view is a flat correction. I am still entertaining a view of the leading diagonal.

    I see a slow grind into the end of march because everyone is so bearish. Very unlikely, we could dump after the FOMC next week. I am ready for either one.

    Agreed up grind higher and

    Agreed up grind higher and most often we have a rally into FED meeting too. Thanks.

    If something is warning about a dump, it is /GC. If the double top at 1966 breaks to the upside, all bets are off on the market.

    Those crosses are for longer

    Posted by arun on 17th of Mar 2023 at 10:34 am

    Those crosses are for longer term/intermediate term ..not short term trading. Also they are not something  created out of thin air.  When 50 day crosses 200 day it is a shift in trend. No need to complicate that
