First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX ETF downgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Sell Candidate after Tuesday trading session
(Updated on Jun 23, 2026)
The First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX ETF price fell by -3.61% on the last day (Tuesday, 23rd Jun 2026) from $32.96 to $31.77. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.82% from a day low at $31.71 to a day high of $31.97. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.46% 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 -115 thousand shares and in total, 63 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.01 million.
The ETF lies in the middle of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 5.98% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $32.91 and $36.72 at the end of this 3-month period.
FEM Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $32.36 and $32.62. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, May 11, 2026, and so far it has fallen -5.81%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX ETF
First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX finds support from accumulated volume at $30.30 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (FEM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX Fund to open at $31.82, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $31.40 and $32.14, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.733 (+/-2.33%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.33% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $32.14 (1.17%) than the support at $30.30 (4.62%), 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.
