First Trust Stoxx European Select Dividend Index Fund ETF Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Jul 21, 2026 Gain 4.36%

The First Trust STOXX European Select ETF price gained 0.500% on the last trading day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026), rising from $20.01 to $20.11. It has now gained 6 days in a row. It is not often that ETFS manage to gain so many days in a row, and falls for a day or two should be expected. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.13% from a day low at $19.93 to a day high of $20.15. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 4.58% 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, 13 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 104 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.08 million.

The ETF has broken the horizontal trend up. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately. $19.70 is considered to be a "second chance" to hit a potential runner. It is, however, important that volume does follow the price as false breaks may appear and it may move back into the horizontal trend. Based on the rectangle-formation theory the ETF is predicted to reach $20.99 sometime during the next 3 months.

FDD Signals & Forecast

Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The First Trust STOXX European Select 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 $19.60 and $19.20. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, July 01, 2026, and so far it has risen 8.70%. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for First Trust STOXX European Select ETF

First Trust STOXX European Select finds support from accumulated volume at $19.68 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this ETF. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.225 between high and low, or 1.13%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.17%.

The First Trust STOXX European Select ETF is extremely overbought on RSI14 (79). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the ETF has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the ETF will find support at the trend broken. Since the First Trust STOXX European Select has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the ETF is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: $19.06 (-5.25%) (This ETF has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. The RSI14 is 79 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 21 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (FDD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect First Trust STOXX European Select Dividend Index Fund to open at $20.06, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $19.98 and $20.24, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.252 (+/-1.26%) 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 1.26% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $19.68, some $0.430 (2.14%) from the current price of $20.11, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
