I know many who use Moving Averages (MA) are concerned with the price action currently remaining below the 200-Day MA. Many are also concerned with the 50-Day MA inching ever closer to a potential "Death Cross" over the 200-Day MA. Even if the 50-Day MA crosses over the 200-Day MA, it does not necessarily mean we will experience "DEATH" in the price action ;as witnessed in 4th Quarter of 2015.
When looking back at September to November of 2015, we can see how the 50-MA crossing over the 200-MA was used as an opportunity by the Composite Group(s) to "shakeout" week hands before finally taking it up into a prolonged two (2) year bull trend. Did the price action fall below the previous low in 2015 "after" the death cross? NO... We actually reversed shortly thereafter and slowly began our long term bull trend.
Don't be surprised if the price action remains below the 200-Day Moving Average (MA) until mid November, 2019 before we finally begin our long term bull trend. It's still POSSIBLE (based on indicators) for the price action to begin going up sooner than mid November. However, based on 200-Day and 50-Day moving averages; they may decide to use this as a means of lulling in margin shorts to begin squeezing them by mid November. Which would also mean we remain below the 200-Day MA a similar length of time like the end of 2015; which was 53-Days.
