iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF upgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Buy Candidate after Monday trading session
(Updated on Jul 20, 2026)
The iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF price gained 0.0921% on the last trading day (Monday, 20th Jul 2026), rising from $119.38 to $119.49. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.50% from a day low at $119.39 to a day high of $121.18. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -2.85% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -624 thousand shares and in total, 6 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $709.02 million. 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 ETF is at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $118.26 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $118.82 and $129.71 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.
IWF Signals & Forecast
The iShares Russell 1000 Growth 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 $121.77 and $122.63. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, and so far it has fallen -3.77%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The ETF should be watched closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF

Trading Expectations (IWF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 21st
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 21st we expect iShares Russell 1000 ETF Growth ETF to open at $120.02, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $118.36 and $120.62, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.27 (+/-1.91%) up or down from last closing price.
