FFA Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The First Trust stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. 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 $21.58 and $21.61. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, October 31, 2025, and so far it has fallen -2.60%. 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 along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.
