What this tool does

A golden cross is the moment a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term one; a death cross is the reverse. Instead of opening charts one by one, this tool scans the top 50 coins by volume on Binance and lists which ones crossed within the last 30 bars, whether the fast line sits above or below the slow one, and how wide the gap is. Choose 50/200 SMA, 20/60 EMA, 9/21 EMA, the MACD signal cross, or your own periods.

How it is calculated

The universe is the top 50 Binance spot USDT pairs by 24-hour quote volume (stablecoins and wrapped tokens excluded, as are dollar-pegged coins trading within ±1% of $1 with a 24-hour range under 1%). For each coin 300 bars are fetched (more for long settings: slow period + 60 for SMA, slow period × 4 + 40 for EMA, up to 1,000) and everything is computed on closed bars only. SMA(n) = average of the last n closes; EMA(n) uses α = 2/(n+1), seeded with the average of the first n closes. MACD = EMA(12) − EMA(26); signal = EMA(9) of MACD. A golden cross is the closed bar where fast > slow after fast ≤ slow on the previous closed bar; a death cross is the reverse. 'Last cross' is the most recent cross within the last 30 closed bars, and 'N bars ago' counts back from the bar in progress (the last closed bar = 1 bar ago). Gap = fast ÷ slow − 1; for MACD, (MACD − signal) ÷ close. 'Converging' means the absolute difference shrank for 3 bars in a row and, at the average rate of those 3 bars, would reach zero within 5 bars. Coins with fewer closed bars than the slow period + 1 (35 for MACD) show 'Not enough data'. Past results use the last 1,000 bars: long only, buy at the next bar's open after a golden cross, sell at the next bar's open after a death cross, 0.1% fee per fill. The scanner recalculates every 5 minutes and the selected chart about once a minute.

Pick the cross type: 50/200 SMA is the classic golden cross, 20/60 EMA tracks the 20- and 60-period lines, 9/21 EMA the short-term flow, and the MACD signal cross momentum. You can also enter your own periods.

Pick a timeframe: daily or weekly for the big trend, 1H or 4H for shorter moves. The table lists the most recent crosses first.

Narrow the list with the Golden, Death and Converging tabs, and click a column header to sort by 24h change, move since the cross or gap.

Click a row to see the chart below with every cross marked by an arrow, both lines, a plain-language reading of the current state, and how trading the crosses would have done on that coin.

Reading the screen, section by section

Control bar: cross type, timeframe, custom

The top bar picks the cross type (50/200 SMA, 20/60 EMA, 9/21 EMA, MACD signal, or Custom) and the timeframe (1H, 4H, 1D, 1W). It opens on the 50/200 SMA daily view. Custom takes a whole-number fast length of 2 to 400 and slow length of 3 to 500 plus SMA or EMA, applied with the Apply button, and fast must be smaller than slow. Changing the cross type or timeframe clears the table and rescans all 50 coins from scratch. Each coin gets 300 bars by default; for long slow lengths this grows to slow + 60 for SMA and slow × 4 + 40 for EMA, up to 1,000. Rescan reloads the table and chart right now instead of waiting for the 5-minute cycle. Long settings such as a weekly 200 SMA will show Not enough data for many younger coins.

Scan summary tiles

The four tiles above the table describe all coins calculated so far. Fast above slow (MACD above signal for the MACD type) gives how many coins have the fast line over the slow one and the share. Recent golden crosses and Recent death crosses count coins whose latest cross within the last 30 closed bars was golden or death. Converging counts coins whose lines would meet within 5 bars at the current pace. The progress bar and the text by the heading show scan progress and the last scan time, and the status label at the top also shows the count while scanning. If the fast-above share moves the same way scan after scan, the broad market is tilting. Reading it alongside a single coin's cross tells you whether that cross agrees with the market as a whole.

Filter tabs and sorting

The filter tabs are All, Golden, Death and Converging, each with its coin count. The default sort puts the most recent cross on top (1 bar ago first). Click the Coin (volume rank), 24h, Last cross, Since cross or Gap header to sort by it, and click again to reverse. Rows with no value always go to the bottom, and ties follow volume rank. The table shows 15 rows at first, with a button to show the rest. During a scan, coins fill in as they arrive and the rest read Calculating. Clicking a row switches the chart and the Selected coin card below to that coin, and the list next to the chart title lets you pick a coin that is not in the table.

Reading the table columns

Every verdict in the table uses closed bars only. Price and 24h come from the 24-hour ticker at scan time and change every 5 minutes, and Since cross compares that price with the cross bar's close, so the numbers stay put until the next scan even if price moves. Daily bars close at 00:00 UTC, so a daily cross enters the table only on the first scan after that. A cross showing on the bar still forming gets a separate Forming bar tag, but it can vanish before the bar closes and is not counted as the last cross. Coins with too few bars read Not enough data with the bar count, and coins that failed to load read No data.

State: fast above or below (above or below signal for MACD) or touching, plus a converging tag with the rough number of bars until the lines meet
Last cross: the most recent cross within the last 30 closed bars, how many bars ago (the last closed bar is 1 bar ago) and the date; for MACD, above or below zero
Since cross: change in price since the cross bar's close
Gap: fast ÷ slow − 1, or (MACD − signal) ÷ close for MACD
Crosses: number of crosses in the last 30 bars, highlighted at 3 or more

The chart: two lines and cross arrows

Selecting a row loads the coin's last 1,000 bars into the chart at lower left and shows the latest 250 (120 on narrow screens) first. For moving-average types the fast and slow lines sit over the candles; for MACD a separate pane opens below with the MACD line, signal line and histogram. Each cross on a closed bar gets an arrow, up below the bar for golden and down above the bar for death, and when crosses are dense only the arrows remain without text. Histogram bars are strong when growing versus the previous bar and faded when shrinking. The chart reloads about every minute (65 seconds), so the last candle and line ends follow the forming bar, but arrows appear only after a bar closes. Hovering shows both line values for that bar in the legend, and a Forming bar tag under the chart means the lines have crossed on the current bar.

Crossover strategy, past results

This block runs a long-only calculation over the 1,000 bars loaded, starting from the first bar where both lines exist: buy at the next bar's open after a golden cross, sell at the next bar's open after a death cross. A 0.1% fee is taken on every fill and slippage is not included. The tiles show the strategy return (with closed trades and whether a position is open), the return from simply holding over the same period, the share of closed trades that ended in profit (wins and losses), and the maximum drawdown. If a position is still open, its unrealised return is added to the note. It is recalculated about every minute, so the numbers change when a bar closes with a new cross. Setting the two returns side by side shows how following the crosses compared with holding for this coin and timeframe, but past records do not tell you what comes next.

Selected coin tiles

The Selected coin card on the right shows the last update time by its heading and four tiles. Price is the close of the forming bar, with an approximate won value converted at the USDT/KRW rate. State shows fast above or below (or above or below signal) with the gap. Last cross, unlike the table, searches all 1,000 bars loaded rather than 30, and gives how many bars ago and the date (plus above or below zero for MACD). Since that cross is the change in price from the cross bar's close. So a coin listed as having no cross in 30 bars can still show an older cross here. The price refreshes with the chart about every minute, fresher than the table's 5-minute price. The won value is a reference and can differ from won prices on Korean exchanges.

Reading the current state

The text under the tiles walks through the current state. For moving-average types it gives whether the fast line is above or below the slow line and by how much, whether price is above, between or below the two lines, and how many percent the slow line has risen or fallen versus 5 bars ago. For MACD it gives the position of the MACD line against the signal line, above or below zero, and their difference as a share of the close. It then adds the last cross and the move since, for converging lines how many bars until they meet at the current pace, a note that 3 or more crosses in 30 bars is typical of a sideways market, and a reminder that a cross on the forming bar is not yet confirmed. The text describes and does not recommend trades. Converging is not a forecast but the current pace extended, and gaps often narrow and then widen again.

Keeping it open

A comfortable order is the fast-above share and recent golden and death counts for the overall market, then a filter such as Converging, Golden or Death to narrow the list, then a row to check the chart and notes. The table refreshes every 5 minutes and the selected coin about every minute; with the tab hidden they pause and reload the moment you return. Because verdicts use closed bars, the table changes most on the first scan after a bar closes: 1-hour bars on the hour, 4-hour bars every four hours from 00:00 UTC, daily bars at 00:00 UTC and weekly bars at 00:00 UTC on Monday. Switching the same coin to a longer timeframe shows whether a cross agrees with the bigger trend. Keeping a live candlestick chart tool, an RSI scanner and a multi-timeframe trend tool open in other tabs helps you follow what happens after a cross.

Things to know

Many traders give more weight to a golden cross that happens while the slow line is rising, and to a MACD golden cross above the zero line. MACD golden crosses below zero often appear early in a rebound.

Moving-average crosses lag price. By the time a cross is confirmed, price has often moved a lot already, so check 'Since cross' to see how late the signal was.

Three or more crosses in the 'Crosses' column usually means the lines are tangled in a sideways market and producing whipsaws. A longer timeframe or a slower setting often gives a cleaner picture.

A cross showing on the bar still in progress gets its own 'Forming bar' tag and can disappear before the bar closes. Share the address bar link to open the same setting, timeframe and coin.

Frequently asked questions

What are golden and death crosses?

When a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term one it is called a golden cross; crossing below is a death cross. The classic pair is the 50- and 200-day averages, and in Korea the 20- and 60-day pair is also widely watched. The MACD line crossing its signal line goes by the same names.

My TradingView or exchange chart shows a different cross date.

Usually one of four things: simple (SMA) versus exponential (EMA) averages, a different exchange (a KRW chart on Upbit and a USDT chart on Binance differ slightly), a different daily close time (Binance daily bars close at 00:00 UTC), or whether the bar still in progress is included. This tool only uses closed bars.

What does 'fast above' or 'fast below' mean?

It tells you whether the short-term line is currently above or below the long-term line, the bullish or bearish ordering of the two averages. With the MACD setting it shows whether the MACD line is above or below its signal line.

Does 'Converging' predict a cross?

No. It extends the current pace: the gap between the lines shrank for 3 bars in a row and, at that 3-bar average rate, would close within 5 bars. Gaps often narrow and then widen again.

How are the past results calculated?

On the last 1,000 bars of the selected coin and timeframe, starting from the first bar where both lines exist: buy at the next bar's open after a golden cross and sell at the next bar's open after a death cross. Long only, 0.1% fee per fill, no slippage. It is shown next to the return from simply holding over the same period.
