Market Synopsis

The Death Cross indicator marks each bar where the short (fast) moving average crosses below the long (slow) moving average. This is typically used to identify the beginning of a bearish trend. May also be combined with a high trade volume to confirm the strength of the trend. It is available for Chart Analysis and RadarScreen.
