Powershares Ftse Rafi Us 1500 Small-mid Portfolio ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 29, 2026 Gain 1.01%

The PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid ETF price fell by -0.230% on the last day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026) from $53.86 to $53.74. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.85% from a day low at $53.15 to a day high of $54.14. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.04% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -3 thousand shares and in total, 55 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.96 million.

The ETF lies in the lower part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $53.05 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 8.79% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $57.72 and $62.49 at the end of this 3-month period.

PRFZ Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the ETF today. The PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid 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 $54.03. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $53.66. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, and so far it has fallen -3.64%. 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). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio to open at $53.68, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $53.36 and $54.12, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.762 (+/-1.43%) up or down from last closing price.
