Green day on Friday for SPY

The SPY ETF price gained 0.0413% on the last trading day (Friday, 18th Aug 2023), rising from $436.29 to $436.47. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.05% from a day low at $433.01 to a day high of $437.57. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.31% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 6 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 90 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $39.12 billion.

Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 7.67% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $469.94 and $500.95 at the end of this 3-month period.

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 SPY 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 $442.14 and $447.85. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, July 31, 2023, and so far it has fallen -4.66%. 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).

SPY finds support from accumulated volume at $433.21 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the ETF moved $4.56 between high and low, or 1.05%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.05%.

SPY is oversold on RSI14 (19). Some ETFS may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.

The SPY ETF holds several negative signals and despite the positive trend, we believe SPY will perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. Therefore, we hold a negative evaluation of this ETF.
