The term Death Cross is a technical one from stock trading. It means an event when 50 day and 200 day two moving averages intersect.

In theory and real trading cases, the two lines are rarely meet. Generally, 200 day average includes 50 day data having 4 times longer time period. If the two lines intersect, it means the price move to whatever direction so seriously that 50 day average line may crosses the 200 day trend on the price chart. If this happen upward that 50 day lien crosses 200 line upward, we call it Golden Cross. But recently we got Death Cross in down turn market trend.

In the chart above, we can see 2 Death Crosses that first one happened last June and another one happen recently. So, one very clear and important question. “If a death cross happen, should we sell out all assets and run away?”

Based on past experience in stock market, death cross has meant the market got in very serious downturn. So many traders got the signal as a trigger to get out of the their positions.
