Red-to-Green Move

A red-to-green move is an intraday cross from negative to positive against the prior session's close. A stock that opened down and fought back through yesterday's closing price flips every daily-change display from red to green at the same instant, and that shared reference point makes the cross a real momentum trigger rather than an arbitrary line.

The move carries information: someone absorbed the morning selling and reversed it. Traders play the cross itself as an entry, with the prior close serving as the stop-out level if the stock slips back red. On gap-down days a red-to-green move is rarer and stronger — it means the entire gap has been bought back.
