How to read it
The 50-day moving average crossing below the 200-day: the medium-term average has fallen under the long-term one, suggesting the decline is hardening into a trend rather than a dip.
Like the golden cross, it lags — the cross usually prints well after the top.

On SQMATE
No more eyeballing charts
You don't have to flip through charts hunting for shapes. Signal watch pings your browser the moment a condition is met, patterns on your watchlist arrive by email, and the screener lists every symbol that matched today.
SQMATE draws the lines
Support lines, trendlines, channels — the lines you need to read a pattern are drawn for you, so no time goes into drawing.
Patterns aren't the whole story
The same shape doesn't always resolve the same way. It's safer to read it together with candles, volume, and market context — news, catalysts, flows.
