SPY ETF upgraded to Buy Candidate

The SPY ETF price gained 1.56% on the last trading day (Friday, 28th Feb 2025), rising from $585.05 to $594.18. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 2.10% from a day low at $582.44 to a day high of $594.70. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.55% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 2 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 75 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $44.85 billion.

The ETF is moving within a 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 $583.38 and $614.91 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.

The SPY ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. 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 $596.52 and $599.96. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, February 27, 2025, and so far it has risen 1.56%. 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.

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 $12.26 between high and low, or 2.10%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.64%.

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 Sell to a Buy candidate.
