FTQI Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The First Trust Nasdaq BuyWrite Income ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $20.84 and $20.82. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, and so far it has fallen -2.14%. 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 fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect First Trust Nasdaq BuyWrite Income ETF to open at $20.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $20.51 and $20.73, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.212 (+/-1.03%) up or down from last closing price.
