The SPY ETF price gained 0.385% on the last trading day (Friday, 18th Oct 2024), rising from $582.35 to $584.59. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.482% from a day low at $582.58 to a day high of $585.39. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.03% 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, 3 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 36 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $21.12 billion.

The ETF lies in the upper part of a weak rising 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 $587.67 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising.Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 8.32% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $600.96 and $636.60 at the end of this 3-month period.

The SPY 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 $581.30 and $567.09. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, September 06, 2024, and so far it has risen 8.18%. 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 $543.01 and $532.90.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, SPY finds support just below today's level at $543.01. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $532.90 and $517.38.

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 $2.81 between high and low, or 0.482%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.739%.

Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for SPY ETF to perform well in the short-term.
