Stocks where the 50-day moving average has just crossed below the 200-day — the classic bearish trend-change signal.
A Death Cross is the bearish mirror of the Golden Cross: the 50-day moving average falling below the 200-day. Because it takes weeks of sustained weakness to drag the faster average under the slower one, it is widely read as confirmation that the long-term trend has rolled over.
This screen lists stocks where that crossover happened in the latest session — fresh Death Crosses only, ranked by how far price has already fallen below the 50-DMA.
Strota computes the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages from daily closes. A Death Cross is flagged when the 50-DMA is below the 200-DMA today but was at or above it on the prior session.
Only fresh crossovers are shown — new trend breakdowns, not stocks that crossed months ago.
Like its bullish twin, the Death Cross is a lagging confirmation signal: much of the decline has often already happened by the time it prints, and whipsaws occur in choppy markets. Information, not advice.
What is a Death Cross?
The 50-day moving average crossing below the 200-day moving average — the bearish counterpart of the Golden Cross, read as confirmation that the long-term trend has turned down.
Does a Death Cross mean the stock will keep falling?
Not reliably — it is a lagging signal, and a meaningful part of the decline has usually already occurred. It confirms established weakness rather than predicting new weakness, and can whipsaw in sideways phases.
Does this show fresh crossovers only?
Yes. A stock appears only on the session its 50-DMA first closes below its 200-DMA, so the list highlights new breakdowns rather than long-dead charts.
What's the bullish opposite?
The Golden Cross — the 50-DMA crossing above the 200-DMA. Strota runs that screen too.
