The ETFis at the upper part of a narrow and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $48.35 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund III - ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $47.42 and $48.42 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 ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
