Should You Buy TEGNA Inc. (TGNA) After Golden Cross?

TEGNA Inc. (TGNA) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, TGNA's 50-day simple moving average broke out above its 200-day moving average; this is known as a "golden cross."There's a reason traders love a golden cross -- it's a technical chart pattern that can indicate a bullish breakout is on the horizon. This kind of crossover is formed when a stock's short-term moving average breaks above a longer-term moving average. Typically, a golden cross involves the 50-day and the 200-day moving averages, 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 contrasts with a death cross, another widely-followed chart pattern that suggests bearish momentum could be on the horizon.TGNA has rallied 24.8% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank at the moment.
