The trust is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect First Trust Exchange-traded Fun trust with a 90% probability to be traded between $21.36 and $22.50 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 trusts seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top.
