Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund ETF downgraded to Strong Sell Candidate
(Updated on Jun 03, 2026)
The Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund ETF price fell by -0.306% on the last day (Wednesday, 3rd Jun 2026) from $68.56 to $68.35. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.323% from a day low at $68.17 to a day high of $68.39. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.55% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -837 thousand shares and in total, 711 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $48.57 million.
The ETF lies the upper part of a narrow and falling 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 $68.68 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -2.08% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $65.04 and $67.25 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the ETF price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
BLV Signals & Forecast
Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $68.48 and $68.40. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, May 29, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.582%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 4th we expect Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund ETF Shares to open at $68.30, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $68.11 and $68.59, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.485 (+/-0.71%) up or down from last closing price.
