A Death Cross is a bearish technical chart signal that occurs when a shorter-term moving average typically the 50-day simple moving average crosses below a longer-term moving average, typically the 200-day moving average. It signals a shift in momentum from bullish to bearish and is widely followed by technical analysts as an indication that a prolonged downtrend may be underway. The Death Cross is the bearish counterpart of the Golden Cross. While it is a lagging indicator confirming a trend that has already begun—it carries psychological significance in markets, as institutional investors and algorithmic systems frequently act on such crossovers in Indian index futures, large-cap stocks, and sectoral ETFs.
