FPA Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 14, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.85%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. 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 not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The First Trust Asia Pacific Ex-Japan ETF holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the ETF giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $27.68. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $27.41. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal.
