iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF Forecast
iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF downgraded from Buy Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Tuesday trading session.
(Updated on Jul 02, 2024)
The iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF price fell by -0.410% on the last day (Tuesday, 2nd Jul 2024) from $60.96 to $60.71. It has now fallen 6 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.596% from a day low at $60.43 to a day high of $60.79. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.25% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 6 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 170 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $10.31 million.
The ETF lies in the lower part of a narrow and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $60.33 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 4.63% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $63.12 and $65.57 at the end of this 3-month period.

IYH Signals & Forecast
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. The iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $61.28 and $60.94. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, June 24, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.68%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF
iShares U.S. Healthcare finds support from accumulated volume at $59.98 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 $0.360 between high and low, or 0.596%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.03%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $58.13 (-4.24%) (This ETF has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 51 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (IYH) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 3rd we expect iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF to open at $60.64, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $60.15 and $61.27, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.564 (+/-0.93%) up or down from last closing price. If iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.86% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $60.96 (0.41%) than the support at $59.98 (1.20%), 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 iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF ETF A Buy?
iShares U.S. Healthcare holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
Current score: -0.803 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
