Buy or Hold candidate since Sep 29, 2025 Gain 13.34%

The FIRST TRUST NASDAQ PHARMACEUTICALS ETF price gained 0.649% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025), rising from $31.33 to $31.54. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.28% from a day low at $31.54 to a day high of $31.94. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.14% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 thousand shares and in total, 1 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $35.92 thousand. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The ETF has broken the strong rising the short-term trend up and an even stronger rate of rising is indicated. For any reaction back there will now be support on the roof on the current trend broken at $31.35, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $33.42 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

FTXH Signals & Forecast

The FIRST TRUST NASDAQ PHARMACEUTICALS 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 $31.11 and $29.79. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, October 13, 2025, and so far it has risen 9.06%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may not be. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for FIRST TRUST NASDAQ PHARMACEUTICALS ETF

FIRST TRUST NASDAQ PHARMACEUTICALS finds support from accumulated volume at $31.51 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the ETF tends to have controlled movements and therefore the general risk is considered low. However, be aware of low or falling volume and make sure to keep an eye on the ETF. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.403 between high and low, or 1.28%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.35%.

The FIRST TRUST NASDAQ PHARMACEUTICALS ETF is extremely overbought on RSI14 (81). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the ETF has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the ETF will find support at the trend broken.

Our recommended stop-loss: $30.28 (-3.97%) (This ETF has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 81 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 25 days ago.)
