iShares S&P/Citigroup International ETF Forecast
iShares S&P/Citigroup International ETF upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The iShares S&P/Citigroup International ETF price fell by -0.646% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from $38.67 to $38.42. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.365% from a day low at $38.35 to a day high of $38.49. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.69% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 43 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, 78 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $3.00 million.
The ETF lies in the lower of a narrow and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $38.29 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -2.30% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $37.41 and $39.09 at the end of this 3-month period.

IGOV Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.104%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The iShares S&P/Citigroup International ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $38.50 and $39.45. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.
