On the 1-hour chart of Silver vs. USD (XAG/USD), all three moving averages intersect closely. Shortly after the crossover, the price action moves upward, forming a bullish candle above the moving averages.
A good bearish setup can be seen on the 30-minute Ethereum (ETH) chart. All three moving averages (fast, medium, and slow) converge and cross downward in unison. Following this intersection, a red bearish candle closes below all MA lines.
