Evaluation of FIRST TRUST CHINA ALPHADEX FUND ETF downgraded after the last trading session
(Updated on Jul 31, 2026)
The FIRST TRUST CHINA ALPHADEX FUND ETF price gained 0.129% on the last trading day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026), rising from $27.36 to $27.39. 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 1.11% from a day low at $27.09 to a day high of $27.39. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.79% 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, 4 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 4 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $116.14 thousand.
The ETF lies the upper part of a wide 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 $27.62 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 -22.20% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $19.14 and $21.49 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.
FCA Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, July 17, 2026, and so far it has risen 5.79%. 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). FIRST TRUST CHINA ALPHADEX FUND has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The FIRST TRUST CHINA ALPHADEX FUND ETF holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the ETF giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $27.73. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $27.24. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.
