50/200 MA Reclaim

Currently Firing

SPY closes above both its 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages after being below both the day before. A classic trend-repair trigger — it flags the moment price transitions from a below-trend regime back above both intermediate- and long-term moving averages.

Rule
Yesterday: close < SMA(50) AND close < SMA(200). Today: close > SMA(50) AND close > SMA(200).
