(Updated on May 01, 2024)

PSCD 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 PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. 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 $101.44 and $102.83. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, April 29, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.71%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this ETF may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, May 05, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

Trading Expectations (PSCD) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 2nd

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 2nd we expect PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio to open at $100.27, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $98.98 and $101.56, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.29 (+/-1.29%) up or down from last closing price. If PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.58% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $100.19 (0.08%) than the resistance at $104.29 (4.01%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..

Is PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio ETF A Buy?

PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer holds several negative signals and is within a wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this ETF. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Sell candidate.
