Vitesse Energy (VTS) Just Flashed Golden Cross Signal: Do You Buy?

After reaching an important support level, Vitesse Energy, Inc. (VTS) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. VTS 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.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.Over the past four weeks, VTS has gained 13.1%. The company currently sits at a #1 (Strong Buy) on the Zacks Rank, also indicating that the stock could be poised for a breakout.Once investors consider VTS'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.With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on VTS for more gains in the near future.5 Stocks Set to DoubleEach was handpicked by a Zacks expert as the favorite stock to gain +100% or more in the months ahead.
