Red day on Friday for SPY ETF after losing 1.44%

The SPY ETF price fell by -1.44% on the last day (Friday, 10th Mar 2023) from $391.56 to $385.91. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 2.30% from a day low at $384.32 to a day high of $393.16. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.64% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 77 million 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, 187 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $72.12 billion.

The ETF has broken the weak rising short-term trend down. This signalizes a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning about a possible trend shift. Due to the trend being broken there will now be resistance at the bottom line of the trend at $392.63. A reaction back to this level may hold a second chance to get out before further falls.

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. 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 $397.30 and $403.57. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, February 02, 2023, and so far it has fallen -7.41%. 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 rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.

SPY finds support from accumulated volume at $383.97 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 $8.84 between high and low, or 2.30%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.70%.

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.
