Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on Jul 17, 2026)
The Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF price fell by -0.89% on the last day (Friday, 17th Jul 2026) from $54.12 to $53.64. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 3.16% from a day low at $53.41 to a day high of $55.10. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.11% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 101 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 208 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $11.14 million.
The ETF is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $51.00 and $54.19 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.
FSTA Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the ETF today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 16, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.89%. 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 rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (FSTA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF to open at $54.05, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $53.19 and $54.09, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.89 (+/-1.68%) up or down from last closing price. If Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.68% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $53.71 (0.13%) than the support at $53.45 (0.35%), 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.
