EverHint Signal — SMA20 × SMA50 Crossover — November 21, 2025

What This Signal Is (Quick)

The SMA20 × SMA50 crossover looks for fresh trend shifts where the 20-day simple moving average (short-term trend) crosses the 50-day simple moving average (medium-term trend). It’s a slower, more stable trend-following tool compared with fast EMA systems, so signals tend to be fewer but cleaner.

• “Golden Cross” (Buy) – SMA20 crosses above SMA50, suggesting new or renewed bullish momentum with a typical 4–12 week holding window.
• “Death Cross” (Sell) – SMA20 crosses below SMA50, flagging a potential down-trend or an exit point after an extended run.

Because both lines are simple moving averages, this setup emphasizes trend confirmation over hyper-fast entries. It’s designed as an experimental scanner for swing traders who prefer smoother signals and are comfortable with a bit of lag in exchange for fewer whipsaws.

How We Ranked Today (Reader Version)

Today’s scan produced 31 signals in total:

• 10 Buy-side (“Golden Cross”) candidates – short-term trend turning up through the 50-day line.
• 21 Sell-side (“Death Cross”) alerts – short-term trend breaking down through the 50-day line.

Ranking logic for the tables:

• Primary sort: RSI(14)
  • For buys: lower RSI ranks higher (looking for fresh crosses that are not already overbought).
  • For sells: higher RSI ranks higher (potentially stretched names rolling over).
• Overlays shown in the table:
  • Insider Net (USD) – 90-day net insider buying/selling (open-market P vs S only). Positive = net buying; negative = net selling.
  • Days → Earnings – calendar distance from today’s signal to the next scheduled earnings date (if available). Short windows (<7 days) can amplify gap risk.

Under the hood, most names have 4–10 analysts on them, with mega-caps like CRM covered by 30+ analysts. That means many of these charts are sitting on top of fairly well-researched fundamental stories rather than forgotten micro-caps.

All signals are for education, testing, and idea-generation only, not trade recommendations.

📈 Buy-Side Signals (Golden Cross candidates)

These are stocks where SMA20 has just crossed above SMA50, with the list ordered from most “reset” RSI upward.

Quick read on the buy basket

• Sector tilt: Buy-side signals are clustered in Financial Services (SPGI, TFC, ORI) and Healthcare/Defensive names (ALC, POST, WTRG), plus a mix of Energy (TDW), Industrials (LTM), Basic Materials (IAG), and a single high-quality tech name (NVMI).
• RSI profile: Most candidates sit in the mid-40s to mid-60s RSI range, suggesting emerging trends rather than fully extended momentum blow-offs.
• Event risk: Several names have earnings 2–3 months out, which gives a reasonable window for swing trades without immediate earnings-gap pressure, but you still see some with <90 days on the clock.

📉 Sell-Side Signals (Death Cross alerts)

These are stocks where SMA20 has just crossed below SMA50, potentially flagging trend exhaustion, rotation, or a need to tighten risk.

(If a ticker appears once in practice, treat duplicated rows in this table as one conceptual idea; the key takeaway is sector and RSI/earnings context.)

Quick read on the sell basket

• Where weakness clusters: The heaviest concentration of sell-side crosses sits in Technology (VEEV, CRM, SIMO, IOT) and Consumer Defensive / Staples / Personal Care (LW, UL, EL). That’s a notable contrast to the buy-side tilt into financials and select defensives.
• Insider flows:
  • EL, SHC, SNAP, IOT, CRM, AGIO all show meaningful net insider selling over the last 90 days, with EL and SHC standing out with very large negative dollar values.
  • Many other names show no recent open-market insider activity, which is neutral rather than bullish/bearish.
• Event radar: Several of these names have earnings in the next 2–3 months, with CRM’s next report just 12 days away, which can amplify volatility around a fresh trend break.

Field Notes

• RSI lens:
  • Buy candidates sit mostly in the high-40s to mid-60s, which is “constructive but not frothy.”
  • Several sell-side names are rolling over from the 50–65 range with fresh Death Crosses, while a handful (e.g., CRM, AGIO, SNDX) already look deeply oversold; that can be late for new shorts but still relevant as risk flags.
• Sector rotation hints:
  • Financials + select defensives on the buy list vs. Tech + Consumer Defensive on the sell list suggests an ongoing rotation away from some expensive growth and branded staples into financials and more cyclically sensitive names.
• Earnings timing:
  • Many symbols show 50–90 days to earnings, making them viable for swing setups without immediate binary risk.
  • Names with very near earnings (under ~2 weeks) demand extra respect for position sizing and stop placement.

Vlad’s Take (EverHint)

Today’s market backdrop: S&P 500 +0.7%, Nasdaq +0.5%, Dow +1.0%, Russell 2000 +2.7% – a clear risk-on day with small-caps leading. The VIX slipped to the low-20s (around 23), still elevated but moving lower, while Bitcoin (~-1.6%) and Ethereum (~-2.2%) pulled back and the 10-year yield eased to just over 4.0%. Taken together, that’s a cautiously bullish environment with money rotating down the cap spectrum.

Given that backdrop:

• For the Golden Cross names: I’d treat these as trend-following ideas in a friendly tape, especially in financials and high-quality industrials. Tiered entries (partial positions) make sense until VIX drops convincingly below the high-teens.
• For the Death Cross names: This isn’t an automatic “short everything” list. I’d mostly treat these as risk-management alerts: tighten stops, consider scaling out into strength, or avoid new long exposure where insider selling and upcoming earnings stack on top of weakening trend.
• General playbook: Respect the macro tailwind (indices up, yields easing) but don’t ignore the micro warnings (insider flows, near-term earnings, and sector-specific selling in tech and staples).

This scanner is experimental and best used as a daily watchlist generator rather than a mechanical trading system.
