A death cross screener for stocks whose 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average today

How this screener works

Detects the Death Cross — the bearish counterpart to the Golden Cross. Requires: 50-day SMA has crossed below the 200-day SMA (new MACD 50/200 signal), price > $2, 20-day average volume > 10,000, and options available. This crossover indicates short-term momentum turning negative relative to the long-term trend, often signaling the start of a longer-term downtrend. The screener captures stocks where this crossover occurred on the current trading day. Useful for risk management, short selling, or identifying stocks to avoid.
