10 Stocks and Funds Reaching an Inflection Point

The following is a list of stocks and funds that are approaching an inflection point, based on moving average trends. For this article, we define an inflection point as the convergence between the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.

When these two moving averages cross, it often represents a shift in investor sentiment. If the 50-day MA moves above the 200-day MA (bullish), it's called a "Golden Cross" signal. If, on the other hand, the 50-day MA crosses below the 200-day MA (bearish), it's called the "Death Cross".

To compile this list, we only focused on stocks with a significant increase in recent volume. We used the Relative Volume indicator, which represents today's volume relative to the 3-month average. All of the stocks and funds in this list have Relative Volume above 2.0.
