A "golden cross" occurs when the 50-day SMA crosses above the 200-day SMA — a well-known signal that the medium-term trend has overtaken the long-term trend, often marking the start of a sustained up-move. This scan finds NSE stocks that just formed a golden cross.
Positional traders and investors treat the golden cross as a long-term bullish confirmation, frequently using it as a trend-regime filter rather than a precise entry.
Because both averages are slow, the golden cross is a lagging signal — it confirms a trend that is already underway and can occasionally form near a short-term top.

It is when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average, widely seen as a bullish signal that a longer-term uptrend may be starting.
It is a respected long-term trend confirmation, but it lags. It works best as a regime filter combined with a tighter entry trigger rather than used alone.
