In a post yesterday, we highlighted the Energy sector and how a number of stocks in the sector, as well as the sector ETF (XLE) that tracks it, have experienced golden crosses with respect to their 50 and 200-day moving averages in recent trading.  Golden crosses are considered bullish technical patterns that occur when a security’s shorter-term moving average crosses up through a longer-term moving average as both are rising. While the Energy sector ETF has already experienced a golden cross, the sector hasn’t quite completed the pattern, although at this point it’s only a matter of time before it follows suit.

Golden crosses may be considered bullish technical patterns in theory, but do they work in practice?  We took a look at that trend in today’s Morning Lineup.  Sign up for a free trial to find out!
