EverHint Signal — SMA20 × SMA50 Crossover — December 15, 2025

SMA20 × SMA50 crossover scanner flagged 25 Golden Cross buys and 6 Death Cross sells on Dec 15, 2025. Industrials and tech lead the buy list, while utilities dominate sells. S&P 500 -0.64% and VIX 16.5 keep the tone cautious.

What This Signal Is (Quick)

SMA20 × SMA50 is a medium-term trend signal built for stability. It looks for fresh crossovers between the 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages:

  • Buy (Golden Cross): SMA(20) crosses above SMA(50) on today’s close
  • Sell (Death Cross): SMA(20) crosses below SMA(50) on today’s close

Because both averages are simple (not exponential), this tends to generate fewer, higher-quality signals than faster EMA crossovers — but it can still whipsaw in sideways markets. This is an experimental scanner intended for research, education, and back-testing.

How We Ranked Today (Reader Version)

  • Buy signals: ranked by RSI(14) ascending (lower RSI ranks higher)
  • Sell signals: ranked by RSI(14) descending (higher RSI ranks higher)
  • Overlays included:
    • Insider Net (USD) = open-market P buys minus S sells (awards/exercises/tax ignored)
    • Days → Earnings = days from signal date to the next scheduled earnings date (with bmo/amc timing where available)
    • Analyst coverage (used as qualitative context when it stands out)

Signals are for educational use and back-testing — not a standalone trading plan.

Field Notes

  • Signal balance: 25 buys vs. 6 sells = trend-following breadth is still skewed bullish, even on a down tape.
  • Long-term trend context: 18 / 25 buys are above their 200-day SMA (classic trend-confirmation setups). 5 / 6 sells are still above their 200-day SMA (often “early cracks,” not full downtrends yet).
  • Sector rotation snapshot:
    • Buys: Industrials (8) lead, then Financial Services (4), plus Tech (3) and Consumer Cyclical (3).
    • Sells: Utilities (3) dominate, suggesting a defensive pocket weakening alongside broader pressure.
  • RSI character: average RSI is ~67 on buys (many are already strong), versus ~43 on sells (momentum has cooled meaningfully in that subset).
  • Earnings proximity: AYI (24 days) is notably close; tighter windows generally mean higher gap risk.

Vlad’s Take (EverHint)

Today’s market backdrop: S&P 500 -0.64%, Nasdaq -1.15%, Dow -0.37%, Russell 2000 -1.24% — a risk-off session with small caps lagging. VIX closed at 16.50 (low-to-normal volatility), while BTC -2.34% and ETH -3.94% added pressure to high-beta sentiment; the 10Y yield finished at 4.182.

With SMA strategies, I generally prefer “confirm then scale” execution: first entry on the crossover, then add only if price respects key levels (prior swing highs/lows, and the 50-day). In a down-index day like this, I’d be extra selective with the high-RSI buys (they can pull back fast) and extra disciplined around names with earnings inside ~30–45 days.
