First Trust Nasdaq Oil & Gas Etf ETF Forecast

Hold candidate since Jun 03, 2026

The FIRST TRUST NASDAQ OIL & GAS ETF price gained 1.25% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 3rd Jun 2026), rising from $36.43 to $36.88. 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 1.90% from a day low at $36.57 to a day high of $37.27. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -4.53% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 33 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 76 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.81 million.

The ETF is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect FIRST TRUST NASDAQ OIL & GAS ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $34.43 and $39.85 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.

FTXN Signals & Forecast

The FIRST TRUST NASDAQ OIL & GAS ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF, but the ETF has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $36.06 and $36.43. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, May 29, 2026, and so far it has risen 4.50%. 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).

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

FIRST TRUST NASDAQ OIL & GAS finds support from accumulated volume at $36.01 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This ETF has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.695 between high and low, or 1.90%. For the last week, the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.67%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $35.26 (-4.39%) (This ETF has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 3 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (FTXN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 4th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 4th we expect FIRST TRUST NASDAQ OIL & GAS ETF to open at $36.91, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $36.46 and $37.31, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.84 (+/-2.32%) up or down from last closing price. If FIRST TRUST NASDAQ OIL & GAS ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.32% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $37.32 (1.18%) than the support at $36.01 (2.37%), 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.
