Stocks crossing the 200-day moving average: common questions

What does it mean when a stock crosses above its 200-day moving average?
It means the stock closed above its 200-day simple moving average after closing below it. The 200-day average is one of the most widely watched long-term trend lines, so a move through it is often read as a possible change in the long-term trend. Many stocks cross back and forth, so it is a signal to investigate, not a guarantee.
How is this different from a golden cross or death cross?
A golden cross or death cross compares two moving averages (the 50-day crossing the 200-day). This page tracks the stock price itself crossing its 200-day average, which usually happens sooner and much more often.
What counts as a recent crossover here?
A stock counts as crossing above or below when it has closed on its current side of the 200-day average for 5 trading days or fewer. A streak of 1 means today was the first close on that side.
How are the stocks in each list chosen?
Every tracked stock that meets the rule is eligible, and each list shows the most heavily traded ones by 90-day average volume, so the names are actively traded. This is educational data, not investment advice.
