The S&P 500 started the second half of 2025 with style.
For the first time in more than two years, the reference indicators gathered a Golden Cross scourge on Tuesday. It was just the most recovery stage that has already won a place in market records.
Like his more expelled brother, “The Cross of Death,” The Golden Cross is a popular indicator used by technical analysts as a gauge of inertia. It triggers when a 50-day movable average passes over 200-day movable average.
The S&P 500 SPX has not seen the Golden Cross since February 2, 2023, according to the Dow Jones market, during the first days of the current bull market. The index has accumulated more than 48% since then, show facts about facts.
To be sure, the Golden Cross on Tuesday is not the first scourge technical signal that appeared, as stocks from the United States began their journey from April after “The Day of Liberation”. A rare Zweig Bread Phroens thrust indicator arrived in late April, just as the rebound was steaming. Zweig Lightth Travs have the perfect recording to expect further profits in the stock market, which returned to at least 1982.
On Friday, the S&P 500 gathered its first record-breaking relative in February, limiting what Dow Jones’s market was described as the fastest return to the recording index of territory after a sale of 15% or more.
“This is definitely a health sign for the market,” says Craig Johnson, a chief market technician at Piper Sandler, for the Golden Cross on Tuesday. “Put this along with the expansion of participation and width, and we create for a strong second half of the year.”
The story shows that the gold crosses have reliably provided additional profits, according to Dow Jones. After the Golden Cross, the S&P 500 is higher one year later, more than 71%of the time, with the average one-year return of over 10%, according to data back in 1928. For comparison, the average 12-month return on the index in every 12-month period from 1928 is about 8%.
