Evaluation of iShares MSCI Pacific ex Japan ETF downgraded after the last trading session
(Updated on Jul 31, 2026)
The iShares MSCI Pacific ex Japan ETF price fell by -1.26% on the last day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026) from $57.22 to $56.50. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.20% from a day low at $55.98 to a day high of $56.65. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.58% 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 -214 thousand shares and in total, 192 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $10.84 million.
The ETFis at the upper part of a horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $57.21 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect iShares MSCI Pacific ex Japan ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $52.38 and $56.82 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.
EPP Signals & Forecast
The iShares MSCI Pacific ex Japan 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 $56.07 and $54.49. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 30, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.26%. 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.

Trading Expectations (EPP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect iShares MSCI Pacific ex Japan ETF to open at $56.38, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $56.14 and $56.86, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.728 (+/-1.30%) up or down from last closing price. If iShares MSCI Pacific ex Japan ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.30% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $56.89 (0.69%) than the support at $55.87 (1.12%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
