SPY ETF upgraded to Buy Candidate

The SPY ETF price fell by -0.302% on the last day (Wednesday, 12th Feb 2025) from $605.19 to $603.36. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.01% from a day low at $598.51 to a day high of $604.55. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.26% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 18 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, 45 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $26.88 billion.

The ETF is moving within a narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect SPY ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $586.85 and $615.70 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and ETF seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETF turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, January 23, 2025, and so far it has fallen -1.05%. 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. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The SPY ETF holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the ETF giving a positive forecast for the ETF. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $603.78. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $597.07. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal.

SPY finds support from accumulated volume at $590.83 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 ETF. During the last day, the ETF moved $6.04 between high and low, or 1.01%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.80%.

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period.We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Buy candidate.
