First Trust Senior Loan Fund Etf ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Nov 14, 2025

No changes to the price of First Trust Senior Loan Fund ETF on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025). During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.107% from a day low at $45.94 to a day high of $45.99. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.33% over the past 2 weeks.

The ETF has broken the narrow and horizontal trend up. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately. $45.97 is considered to be a "second chance" to hit a potential runner. It is, however, important that volume does follow the price as false breaks may appear and it may move back into the horizontal trend. Based on the rectangle-formation theory the ETF is predicted to reach $46.39 sometime during the next 3 months.

FTSL Signals & Forecast

The First Trust Senior Loan Fund 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 $45.94 and $45.81. 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 Wednesday, November 12, 2025, and so far it has fallen -0.0217%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day while price remained unchanged. This may be an early warning, but it may also not. We still recommend that you pay attention over the next couple of days. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, November 06, 2025 for the short-term and also have Golden Star Signal for the medium-term dated Monday, June 09, 2025.

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.

Trading Expectations (FTSL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect First Trust Senior Loan Fund ETF to open at $45.96, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $45.89 and $46.05, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.154 (+/-0.33%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust Senior Loan Fund ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.33% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $46.05 (0.17%) than the support at $45.86 (0.24%), 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.
