First Trust Managed Municipal ETF upgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Buy Candidate after Monday trading session
(Updated on Nov 17, 2025)
The First Trust Managed Municipal ETF price gained 0.147% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025), rising from $51.15 to $51.22. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.215% from a day low at $51.17 to a day high of $51.28. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 0.1% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -87 thousand shares and in total, 100 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.12 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The ETF lies in the middle of a narrow 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 3.35% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $52.79 and $53.40 at the end of this 3-month period.
FMB Signals & Forecast
A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, and so far it has fallen -0.280%. 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). Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The First Trust Managed Municipal 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 $51.25. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $51.11. 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. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The ETF should be watched closely. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 in the long-term chart.
Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for First Trust Managed Municipal ETF
First Trust Managed Municipal finds support from accumulated volume at $50.89 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 $0.110 between high and low, or 0.215%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.260%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $48.66 (-5.01%) (This ETF has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 4 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (FMB) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect First Trust Managed Municipal ETF to open at $51.22, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $51.15 and $51.29, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.144 (+/-0.28%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust Managed Municipal ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.28% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $51.24 (0.03%) than the support at $50.89 (0.65%), 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.
Is First Trust Managed Municipal ETF ETF A Buy?
Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Hold to a Buy candidate.
