Use to find companies where this pattern is active.
Three observations describe the present configuration: the fast moving average is above the slow moving average, trend strength is elevated, and volume is above baseline.
State
Fast SMA above slow SMA with trend and volume
Emergence
Three observations align: the fast moving average sits above the slow moving average, ADX indicates a strong directional regime, and volume is above baseline. The configuration describes the present state of these three measurements together.
Limits
This interpretation identifies the current configuration, not trend prediction. It does not predict how far or long any trend will continue, assess fundamental support, or guarantee continuation. The configuration can persist, reverse, or fade.

Explanation
Each observation represents an independent observation: Fast SMA Above Slow SMA records that the shorter-window moving average sits above the longer-window one (typically 50-week above 200-week). This is conventionally known as a 'golden cross' — a folklore label that suggests a coming rally. This interpretation makes no such claim and records only the relative position of the two averages. ADX Trend Strength measures whether a strong directional regime is present. Elevated readings indicate the cross is occurring in a trending environment, not a choppy one. Volume Breakout measures whether volume is expanding. Elevated readings indicate higher participation than baseline. When all three align, they describe the present configuration — not a continuation forecast.
Interpretation
This interpretation identifies the present configuration, not trend certainty. It does not predict trend duration, guarantee continuation, or indicate position sizing. The configuration can persist or reverse.
