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.
Last week’s leveraged and inverse ETFs delivered standout returns, led by ProShares Ultra Silver (AGQ) with a 19.04% gain as silver rallied on heightened trade and geopolitical risk. Direxion’s South Korea Bull 3X (KORU) posted a 17.22% jump, fueled by a semiconductor surge and decoupling from U.S. market weakness. Tech‑focused leveraged funds on Amazon (AMZZ, AMZU) and Super Micro Computer (SMCX) each exceeded 11%, while oil‑linked UCO rose 10.57% amid escalating U.S.–Iran tensions. The list underscores how macro‑events and sector catalysts can amplify leveraged ETF performance.
