First Trust Utilities Alphadex Fund ETF Forecast

Buy candidate since Jun 22, 2026 Gain 3.67%

The First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund ETF price gained 1.11% on the last trading day (Friday, 26th Jun 2026), rising from $49.69 to $50.24. It has now gained 6 days in a row. It is not often that ETFS manage to gain so many days in a row, and falls for a day or two should be expected. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.88% from a day low at $49.84 to a day high of $50.28. The price has risen in 9 of the last 10 days and is up by 4.56% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -165 thousand shares and in total, 6 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $317.37 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 ETFhas broken the falling short-term trend up. Firstly a slower falling rate is indicated, but this may very well be an early signal of a trend shift. On the reaction, there will be support on the roof of the current trend broken, which is $49.65, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $52.96 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

FXU Signals & Forecast

The First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX 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 $49.04 and $48.26. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, June 01, 2026, and so far it has risen 7.12%. 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 also not. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, December 30, 2025 in the long-term chart.

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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund ETF

First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund finds support from accumulated volume at $49.85 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 very controlled movements and therefore the general risk is considered very low.

Since the First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the ETF is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: $47.79 (-4.88%) (This ETF has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 18 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (FXU) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund to open at $50.12, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $49.90 and $50.58, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.680 (+/-1.36%) up or down from last closing price. If First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.36% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $50.25 (0.02%) than the support at $49.85 (0.78%), 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.

Is First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund ETF A Buy?

Several short-term signals are positive and the break-up from the falling trend indicates a possible shift for a trend. We believe that the prices around the breaking point will indicate particularly good levels, but we also believe that the current level will hold a possible good buy level for the short-term period.
