The same idea as the 200-day, but over ~10 weeks — a faster, more responsive trend line that turns sooner.
When the 50-day crosses above the 200-day, the medium-term trend has turned up faster than the long-term — a classic sign momentum is building. The reverse (50-day dropping below the 200-day, a “death cross”) is a warning. The app nudges a grade up for the first and down for the second.
50-DMA = (P₁ + P₂ + … + P₅₀) ÷ 50 golden cross: 50-DMA rises above 200-DMA death cross: 50-DMA falls below 200-DMA
