First Trust Japan AlphaDEX Fund ETF upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)

FJP Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the ETF today. The First Trust Japan AlphaDEX Fund 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 $54.08. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $52.55. 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). Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.765%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.

Trading Expectations (FJP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect First Trust Japan AlphaDEX Fund to open at $52.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $51.93 and $53.41, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.744 (+/-1.41%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust Japan AlphaDEX Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.83% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $52.47 (0.38%) than the resistance at $53.23 (1.06%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
