When a short-term moving average (MA) goes up above a long-term moving average, this is called a “golden cross.” “Let’s look at the golden cross… We are coming up to one probably in about six days, maybe a little bit less depending on the trajectory of Bitcoin action.

A supernet or umbrella network combines multiple smaller networks or blockchains into one larger network. Supernets enable communication among distinct blockchain networks, considerably improving the usefulness of the overall system by enabling the transfer of assets and data among different blockchains.
