After Golden Cross, GMS (GMS)'s Technical Outlook is Bright

After reaching an important support level, GMS Inc. (GMS) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. GMS recently experienced a "golden cross" event, which saw its 50-day simple moving average breaking out above its 200-day simple moving average.A golden cross is a technical chart pattern that can signify a potential bullish breakout. It's formed from a crossover involving a security's short-term moving average breaking above a longer-term moving average, with the most common moving averages being the 50-day and the 200-day, since bigger time periods tend to form stronger breakouts.There are three stages to a golden cross. First, there must be a downtrend in a stock's price that eventually bottoms out. Then, the stock's shorter moving average crosses over its longer moving average, triggering a positive trend reversal. The third stage is when a stock continues the upward momentum to higher prices.A golden cross is the opposite of a death cross, another technical event that indicates bearish price movement may be on the horizon.GMS has rallied 40.6% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank at the moment.
