Ishares Core S&p Small-cap Etf ETF Forecast

Hold candidate since Nov 14, 2025 Loss -2.18%

The iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF price fell by -2.18% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $116.85 to $114.30. It has now fallen 4 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 2.68% from a day low at $113.95 to a day high of $117.00. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.17% for this period. 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 -2 million shares and in total, 4 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $460.38 million.

The ETF has broken the horizontal trend down. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately $114.73 is considered to be a "second chance" to get out before further fall. It is, however, important to note that false breaks may appear and that the price may move back into the horizontal trend. A break on increasing volume is considered to be more significant and reliable than breaks on low volume.

IJR Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $117.76 and $118.47. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, October 27, 2025, and so far it has fallen -5.65%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, June 20, 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.
