Bloomberg posted a interesting long term chart of the S&P500 Index. That charts shows two prior Death Crosses in the S&P500 index and potentially a new one may form.

I got curious and checked out stockcharts.com. I created a long term chart of the S&P 500 Index. Added two moving averages – a 50 Day MA and also a 200 Day MA. The Death Occurs at a top when the 50 Day MA crosses “downward” over the 200 Day MA.
