The First Trust High Income ETF price fell by -0.217% on the last day (Tuesday, 15th Jul 2025) from $22.99 to $22.94. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.283% from a day low at $22.94 to a day high of $23.00. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 0.39% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 9 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, 237 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.43 million.

The ETF lies in the middle of a narrow and weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 9.05% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $24.43 and $25.38 at the end of this 3-month period.

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 $22.94 and $22.58. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, July 14, 2025, and so far it has fallen -0.217%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (FTHI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 16th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 16th we expect First Trust High Income ETF to open at $22.96, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $22.87 and $23.01, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.137 (+/-0.60%) 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 0.60% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $22.95 (0.04%) than the support at $22.86 (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.
