Alright folks. It appears to me that we have just witnessed the first golden cross in the history of Bitstamp (I went all the way back to 2011). From my understanding, a true golden cross only occurs when the 50 day moving average crosses above the 200 day moving average while
BOTH averages are trending
upwards. Over the past two years we have had the 50 DMA cross above the 200 DMA, but both of those times the 200 DMA was trending downwards. Having one average moving up while the other continues downward is obviously much less bullish then both moving up together.
This time, as of literally this day of October 27, 2015, we have our first Golden Cross. Not by much though. The 200 DMA has only been moving upwards for about 10 days now. However, that still counts.
I'd also like to point out that volume has been very strong on Stamp during this most recent surge versus the previous. I'm sure some of this relates to them stealing some market share from Finex, but still more volume on the exchange that I feel is the best gauge of price is positive. Also, the bottom of the chart shows that accumulation has been much more impressive versus the previous rise. Also bullish, and something that needs to be noticed.
All I can say is that the stars appear to be aligning. I like my HODL odds.
