Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (ILPT) Now Trades Above Golden Cross: Time to Buy?

From a technical perspective, Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (ILPT) is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. ILPT'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.ILPT has rallied 30.8% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #1 (Strong Buy) on the Zacks Rank at the moment. This combination indicates ILPT could be poised for a breakout.Once investors consider ILPT's positive earnings outlook for the current quarter, the bullish case only solidifies.
