FlexShares International Quality ETF Forecast
Explanation to Bollinger's Bands
Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.
Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.
Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation
BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.
BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)
Live Samples:
Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

Green day on Monday for FlexShares International Quality ETF after gaining 0.413%
(Updated on May 06, 2024)
The FlexShares International Quality ETF price gained 0.413% on the last trading day (Monday, 6th May 2024), rising from $21.78 to $21.87. 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 0.183% from a day low at $21.83 to a day high of $21.87. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.7% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 1 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 3 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $72.94 thousand.
The ETF lies in the upper part of a narrow and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $21.96 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 2.25% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $21.39 and $22.45 at the end of this 3-month period.

IQDE Signals & Forecast
The FlexShares International Quality ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. 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 $21.54 and $21.35. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.09%. 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). FlexShares International Quality has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for FlexShares International Quality ETF
FlexShares International Quality finds support from accumulated volume at $21.35 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 with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.0400 between high and low, or 0.183%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.389%.
The FlexShares International Quality ETF is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some ETFS may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the ETF manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: $20.84 (-4.69%) (This ETF has low daily movements and this gives low risk. The RSI14 is 85 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 14 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (IQDE) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 7th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 7th we expect FlexShares International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund to open at $21.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $21.73 and $22.01, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.140 (+/-0.64%) up or down from last closing price. If FlexShares International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.28% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $21.35, some $0.520 (2.38%) from the current price of $21.87, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
Is FlexShares International Quality Dividend Defensive Index Fund ETF A Buy?
FlexShares International Quality holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.
Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Unchanged
Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
