The golden cross as a return filter

For the 50/200-day crossover on log prices, use (4.1) to compute w0w_0, w48w_{48}, w49w_{49}, w100w_{100}, w198w_{198} and ∑iwi\sum_iw_i. At which lag is the weight largest? A stock rose 10% in the last 5 days after a flat year. Which matters more to the crossover signal: those 5 days, or a 10% rise spread evenly over days 40–60 ago? Answer with the weights.
