First Trust Institutional Preferred ETF Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for First Trust Institutional Preferred ETF price after Thursday trading.
(Updated on May 09, 2024)
The First Trust Institutional Preferred ETF price gained 0.275% on the last trading day (Thursday, 9th May 2024), rising from $18.18 to $18.23. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.275% from a day low at $18.18 to a day high of $18.23. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.67% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -32 thousand shares and in total, 152 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.77 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 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 $18.27 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect First Trust Institutional Preferred ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $17.93 and $18.28 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.

FPEI Signals & Forecast
Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The First Trust Institutional Preferred ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. 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 $18.15 and $18.10. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.79%. 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 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 Thursday, May 02, 2024 in the short-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.

Trading Expectations (FPEI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 10th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 10th we expect First Trust Institutional Preferred Securities and Income ETF to open at $18.21, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $18.16 and $18.30, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0678 (+/-0.37%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust Institutional Preferred Securities and Income ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.74% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $18.24 (0.05%) than the support at $18.20 (0.16%), 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.
