Ishares Iboxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Etf ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 07, 2026 Gain 0.06%

The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate ETF price gained 0.163% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 15th Jul 2026), rising from $79.68 to $79.81. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.163% from a day low at $79.71 to a day high of $79.84. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.2% 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, 2 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 27 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.15 billion.

The ETFis at the upper part of a narrow and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $79.99 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $78.33 and $79.36 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. Do note, that if the ETF price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

HYG Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, June 05, 2026, and so far it has risen 0.478%. 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. The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate ETF holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the ETF giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $79.84. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $79.70. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
