Moving Average Crossover Strategy Shows 6.9% Annual Return in Backtest
The moving average crossover approach generates mechanical buy or sell signals when a fast and a slow average intersect. Common pairings include 9/21 EMA for short‑term trades, 20/50 SMA for swing trades, and the classic 50/200 SMA Golden Cross for long‑term trends. Backtests of the Golden Cross from 1960 to present delivered a 6.9% annual return.
The March 18 Sell‑on‑the‑Pop Prospects list highlights 46 ETFs that meet a two‑step technical screen: a 50‑day moving average below the 200‑day average indicating a longer‑term downtrend, and a price above the 20‑day average suggesting a short‑term pop. A liquidity filter removes funds trading under one‑million average daily shares. Market context includes a U.S. equity retreat driven by persistent inflation, renewed rate‑risk concerns, and a weakening dollar. Notable entries are leveraged Palantir ETFs, multiple Ethereum and Bitcoin funds, and several VIX‑linked volatility products.
