Green day on Monday for First Trust Intermediate Duration
(Updated on Apr 29, 2024)

FPF Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.36%. 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). First Trust Intermediate Duration has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The First Trust Intermediate Duration stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $17.48. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $17.12. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.
