CrowdStrike On The Verge Of A Golden Cross Ahead Of Q3 Earnings

CrowdStrike stock is on the verge of forming a golden cross, a technical indicator often associated with bullish momentum.

Chart created using Benzinga Pro

CrowdStrike stock is trading at $363.68, significantly above its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), confirming a strong bullish trend. The eight-day simple moving average (SMA) at $355.04, the 20-day SMA at $335.66, and the 50-day SMA at $311.85 all reflect robust upward momentum.

Additionally, the 200-day SMA of $312.32 reinforces the bullish outlook as the share price firmly surpasses long-term resistance levels.

However, caution is warranted.

Despite the overall bullish signals, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 67.97 suggests CRWD stock is nearing overbought territory, hinting at potential bearish pressure.

Similarly, the high Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) of 16.10 confirms the strength of the trend but could precede a cooling-off period.

While the golden cross could propel CRWD higher, traders should remain mindful of short-term overbought risks.
