POWERSHARES VRI ETF Forecast
POWERSHARES VRI ETF downgraded from Buy Candidate to Sell Candidate after Monday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)
The POWERSHARES VRI ETF price fell by -0.516% on the last day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024) from $25.20 to $25.07. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.120% from a day low at $25.05 to a day high of $25.08. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.26% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 17 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 223 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.60 million.
The ETF has broken the narrow and horizontal trend down. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately $25.07 is considered to be a "second chance" to get out before further fall. It is, however, important to note that false breaks may appear and that the price may move back into the horizontal trend. A break on increasing volume is considered to be more significant and reliable than breaks on low volume.

VRIG Signals & Forecast
Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The POWERSHARES VRI ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $25.17 and $25.12. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.516%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, December 29, 2023 in the long-term chart.
Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.
