Calix (CALX) Just Flashed Golden Cross Signal: Do You Buy?

Calix, Inc (CALX) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, CALX's 50-day simple moving average crossed above its 200-day simple moving average, known as a "golden cross."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.Golden crosses have three key stages that investors look out for. It starts with a downtrend in a stock's price that eventually bottoms out, followed by the stock's shorter moving average crossing over its longer moving average and triggering a trend reversal. The final stage is when a stock continues the upward climb to higher prices.This kind of chart pattern is the opposite of a death cross, which is a technical event that suggests future bearish price movement.CALX has rallied 33.7% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank at the moment. This combination indicates CALX could be poised for a breakout.Looking at CALX's earnings expectations, investors will be even more convinced of the bullish uptrend.
