I'm looking at the moving averages for gold. The 20 SMA is below the 200 SMA... does that mean it's a good time to sell? Or is it too early to tell? I'm trying to understand how to use these indicators better.

@ajones198, a 20 SMA crossing below the 200 SMA is often considered a bearish signal, sometimes referred to as a 'death cross'. However, it's crucial to consider the timeframe and other confirming indicators. This signal can lag, so waiting for further confirmation might be prudent. Look at other indicators like the MACD or RSI to see if they corroborate the bearish sentiment. Also, volume can give you clues. A high volume on the price drop following the cross would lend more credence to the signal. It's best not to rely on a single indicator in isolation.
