An index closing below the 200DMA is change in slope of the index - ie 1st order. Index-with MAs ....it doesnt denote anything about the MA slope
You can make up any definition you want. The slope of the moving average as discussed here is the slope of the moving average, not of the index itself.
The S&P index hit an all time high on 2/19/25 and has been on a downward trend since then. It took the index exactly two weeks of dropping until it crossed the 200DMA. In other words, the slope of the index was negative for two weeks BEFORE the day on which you claim that its slope changed. I'm sorry, but you're making no sense.
