Dave Inc. (DAVE) Now Trades Above Golden Cross: Time to Buy?

After reaching an important support level, Dave Inc. (DAVE) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. DAVE recently experienced a "golden cross" event, which saw its 50-day simple moving average breaking out above its 200-day simple moving average.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.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.DAVE has rallied 37% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #1 (Strong Buy) on the Zacks Rank at the moment. This combination indicates DAVE could be poised for a breakout.Once investors consider DAVE'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 2 revisions higher, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased as well.Given this move in earnings estimates and the positive technical factor, investors may want to keep their eye on DAVE for more gains in the near future.Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double"Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months.
