🔄 What is a crossover? (Moving Average Crossover)
The crossover line means the moment two moving averages intersect (e.g. MA20 and MA60).
This crossover gives a buy or sell signal.
The two most important types of crossovers:
✅ Golden Cross
Occurs when the short MA (like MA20) crosses MA60 upwards.
Indicates the beginning of a strong uptrend.
Buy signal.
❌ Death Cross
Occurs when the short MA crosses MA60 downwards.
Indicates the beginning of a strong downtrend.
Sell signal.
🎯 How to use MA60 and crossover in trading?
On the 1-hour or 4-hour timeframe (for short trading):
Watch the crossover of MA20 with MA60.
If a bullish crossover occurs and the price is above MA60 ➜ Good buying entry.
If a bearish crossover occurs and the price is below MA60 ➜ Enter sell or avoid buying.
With additional confirmation:
Use RSI or MACD to confirm the trend.
Note the trading volume at the crossover: the larger it is, the more credible the signal.
🛠️ Quick practical example:
On a coin like PEPE:
If MA20 crosses MA60 upwards on the 1-hour timeframe.
And RSI was above 50.
And supports the price above MA60.
This is a strong buy entry signal.
