YPF Sociedad Anonima (YPF Quick QuoteYPF - Free Report) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, YPF'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.

A successful golden cross event has three stages. It first begins when a stock's price on the decline bottoms out. Then, its shorter moving average crosses above its longer moving average, triggering a positive trend reversal. The third and final phase occurs when the stock maintains its upward momentum.

A golden cross is the opposite of a death cross, another technical event that indicates bearish price movement may be on the horizon.

YPF has rallied 66.1% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank at the moment. This combination indicates YPF could be poised for a breakout.
