StockInvest.us, 3 weeks ago
The QQQ ETF price gained 2.53% on the last trading day (Thursday, 19th Sep 2024), rising from $471.44 to $483.36. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.19% from a day low at $480.49 to a day high of $486.23. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 4.84% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 12 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 52 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $24.92 billion.
The ETF lies the upper part of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $486.18 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift.Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -4.17% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $407.00 and $465.92 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
The QQQ ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $474.10 and $465.03. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, August 07, 2024, and so far it has risen 11.18%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
On the downside, the ETF finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $448.75 and $439.53.There is a natural risk involved when a ETF is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the ETF then may fall to the next support level. In this case, QQQ finds support just below today's level at $448.75. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $439.53 and $435.37.
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 $5.74 between high and low, or 1.19%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.21%.
Several short-term signals are positive, despite the ETF being in a falling trend, we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for ETF to perform well in the short-term. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Buy candidate.
