I believe the 50 dma crossing below the 200 dma is referred to as the "death cross" and is an indicator of the commencement of a bear market. This cross-over seems likely in the next day or two. The last time this occurred in 2010, there was a lot of media attention but it turned out to be a non-event. On its own it has limited value but given that we have a Dow Theory sell signal and the Fed announcing that interest rates will be keep very low for the next two years signifying a weak economy, perhaps it needs to be given some weight. Combine this with the Eurozone problems, etc and it warrants caution. JMHO
