CIBR Signals & Forecast

The First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity 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 $96.58 and $91.10. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, and so far it has risen 20.84%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, December 03, 2025 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

On the downside, the ETF finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $94.26 and $90.70.

Our recommended stop-loss: $97.08 (-3.50%) (This ETF has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 41 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (CIBR) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity ETF to open at $99.85, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $99.27 and $101.93, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.66 (+/-2.68%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.68% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $94.26, some $6.34 (6.30%) from the current price of $100.60, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity ETF ETF A Buy?

First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold candidate.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
