First Trust STOXX European Select ETF downgraded from Buy Candidate to Sell Candidate after Monday trading session
(Updated on Nov 17, 2025)
The First Trust STOXX European Select ETF price fell by -1.30% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $16.55 to $16.33. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.26% from a day low at $16.28 to a day high of $16.48. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.11% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 72 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 181 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.95 million.
The ETF 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 STOXX European Select ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $15.84 and $16.67 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 ETF seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETF turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
FDD Signals & Forecast
The First Trust STOXX European Select ETF holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the ETF giving a positive forecast for the ETF. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $16.49. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $16.16. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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, November 13, 2025, and so far it has fallen -1.74%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (FDD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect First Trust STOXX European Select Dividend Index Fund to open at $16.36, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $16.25 and $16.41, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.158 (+/-0.97%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust STOXX European Select Dividend Index Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.97% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $16.34 (0.06%) than the support at $16.09 (1.47%), 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.
