Vaneck Merk Gold Trust ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 21, 2026

The VanEck Merk Gold Trust ETF price gained 1.97% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 21st Jul 2026), rising from $38.51 to $39.27. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.04% from a day low at $38.88 to a day high of $39.28. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.68% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -82 thousand shares and in total, 517 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $20.29 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 lies the upper part of a narrow and falling 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 $39.38 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -16.54% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $31.59 and $32.87 at the end of this 3-month period. 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.

OUNZ Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, July 16, 2026, and so far it has risen 2.69%. 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). 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The VanEck Merk Gold Trust 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 $40.04. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $38.72. 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.

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 22nd we expect VanEck Merk Gold Trust to open at $39.14, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $38.89 and $39.65, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.752 (+/-1.93%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $39.25 (0.05%) than the resistance at $40.71 (3.67%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
