First Trust High Income Etf ETF Forecast

Buy candidate since Jul 09, 2026 Gain 0.08%

The First Trust High Income ETF price gained 0.0836% on the last trading day (Friday, 10th Jul 2026), rising from $23.91 to $23.93. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.693% from a day low at $23.83 to a day high of $23.99. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.53% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 187 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 642 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $15.36 million.

The ETF is moving within a narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect First Trust High Income ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $23.66 and $24.27 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.

FTHI Signals & Forecast

The First Trust High Income ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF. 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 $23.82 and $23.79. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, June 26, 2026, and so far it has risen 2.05%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, July 01, 2026 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for First Trust High Income ETF

Trading Expectations (FTHI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect First Trust High Income ETF to open at $23.92, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $23.83 and $24.03, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.206 (+/-0.87%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust High Income ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.87% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $23.98 (0.21%) than the support at $23.81 (0.50%), 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.
