TAL Education Group (TAL) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, TAL's 50-day simple moving average broke out above its 200-day moving average; this is known as a "golden cross."
A golden cross is a technical chart pattern that can signify a potential bullish breakout. It's formed from a crossover involving a security's short-term moving average breaking above a longer-term moving average, with the most common moving averages being the 50-day and the 200-day, since bigger time periods tend to form stronger breakouts.
Golden crosses have three key stages that investors look out for. It starts with a downtrend in a stock's price that eventually bottoms out, followed by the stock's shorter moving average crossing over its longer moving average and triggering a trend reversal. The final stage is when a stock continues the upward climb to higher prices.
A golden cross is the opposite of a death cross, another technical event that indicates bearish price movement may be on the horizon.
TAL has rallied 34% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank at the moment. This combination indicates TAL could be poised for a breakout.
Once investors consider TAL'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 revisions higher, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased as well.
Investors should think about putting TAL on their watchlist given the ultra-important technical indicator and positive move in earnings estimates.
