During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.11% from a day low at $54.31 to a day high of $54.92. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.7% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -121 thousand shares and in total, 138 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $7.57 million.

PRF Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the ETF today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.309%. 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). The POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI U.S. 1000 ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF. 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 $54.55 and $54.21. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI U.S. 1000 PORTFOLIO to open at $54.66, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $54.52 and $55.00, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.487 (+/-0.89%) up or down from last closing price. If POWERSHARES FTSE RAFI U.S. 1000 PORTFOLIO takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.89% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $54.93 (0.31%) than the support at $54.48 (0.51%), 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.
