After Golden Cross, Sleep Number (SNBR)'s Technical Outlook is Bright

From a technical perspective, Sleep Number Corporation (SNBR) is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. SNBR's 50-day simple moving average crossed above its 200-day simple moving average, which is known as a "golden cross" in the trading world.Considered an important signifier for a bullish breakout, a golden cross is a technical chart pattern that's formed when a stock's short-term moving average breaks above a longer-term moving average; the most common crossover involves the 50-day and the 200-day, since bigger time periods tend to form stronger breakouts.A successful golden cross event has three stages. It first begins when a stock's price on the decline bottoms out. Then, its shorter moving average crosses above its longer moving average, triggering a positive trend reversal. The third and final phase occurs when the stock maintains its upward momentum.A golden cross contrasts with a death cross, another widely-followed chart pattern that suggests bearish momentum could be on the horizon.SNBR has rallied 22.5% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank at the moment. This combination indicates SNBR could be poised for a breakout.Once investors consider SNBR's positive earnings outlook for the current quarter, the bullish case only solidifies. No earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months compared to 1 revision higher, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased as well.Investors may want to watch SNBR for more gains in the near future given the company's key technical level and positive earnings estimate revisions.Quantum Computing Stocks Set To SoarArtificial intelligence has already reshaped the investment landscape, and its convergence with quantum computing could lead to the most significant wealth-building opportunities of our time.Today, you have a chance to position your portfolio at the forefront of this technological revolution.
