PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low Vol ETF Forecast

Green day on Friday for PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low Vol
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)

SPHD Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.73%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low Vol ETF holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the ETF giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $43.35. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $42.67. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (SPHD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low VolETF to open at $43.02, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $42.74 and $43.72, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.491 (+/-1.14%) up or down from last closing price. If PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low VolETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.27% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $43.28 (0.12%) than the support at $42.46 (1.78%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
