First Trust Nasdaq Transportation Etf ETF Forecast

Hold candidate since Jul 30, 2026 Loss -0.49%

The FIRST TRUST NASDAQ TRANSPORTATION ETF price fell by -0.494% on the last day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026) from $44.46 to $44.24. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.56% from a day low at $43.93 to a day high of $44.62. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -1.95% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -9 thousand shares and in total, 27 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.18 million.

The ETF lies in the lower part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $43.91 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 9.92% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $48.27 and $51.02 at the end of this 3-month period.
