Green day on Wednesday for AltShares Merger Arbitrage ETF after gaining 0.0338%
(Updated on Jun 03, 2026)
The AltShares Merger Arbitrage ETF price gained 0.0338% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 3rd Jun 2026), rising from $29.60 to $29.61. 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 0.611% from a day low at $29.44 to a day high of $29.62. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.24% 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, 47 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 58 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.72 million.
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 AltShares Merger Arbitrage ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $29.90 and $30.23 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 ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
ARB Signals & Forecast
The AltShares Merger Arbitrage ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF. 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 $29.56 and $29.51. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume is rising along with the price.
