Technical indicators are very popular tools in the trading sector, particularly for the highly volatile cryptocurrency market. Even though they certainly do not allow for guaranteed predictions of market developments, they quite often manage to anticipate a direction for the market (bearish, neutral, bullish), or at least define its current trend.

Among the most significant indicators, the formation of a golden cross is often a harbinger of a new bullish phase. Indeed, as pointed out on X by Benjamin Cowen, founder of Into The Cryptoverse, on the chart of Bitcoin's price in dollars, the simple moving average over 50 days (in red below) is crossing above the simple moving average over 200 days (in white). This would form that famous "golden cross".
