Powershares S&p Smallcap Energy Portfolio ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 31, 2026

The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy ETF price gained 1.76% on the last trading day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026), rising from $56.67 to $57.67. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 2.47% from a day low at $56.45 to a day high of $57.85. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 0.9% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -5 thousand shares and in total, 9 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $528.73 thousand. 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 wide 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 $58.40 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 -11.60% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $44.97 and $51.63 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.

PSCE Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the ETF today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, and so far it has fallen -2.73%. 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 during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not. The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy 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 $56.56 and $56.41. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio to open at $57.32, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $56.96 and $58.37, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.41 (+/-2.48%) up or down from last closing price.
