PSCH Signals & Forecast

The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care ETF holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the ETF giving a positive forecast for the ETF. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $44.87. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $44.74. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, May 06, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.63%. 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).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care ETF

On the downside, the ETF finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $41.15 and $41.15. There is a natural risk involved when a ETF is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the ETF then may fall to the next support level. In this case, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care finds support just below today's level at $41.15. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $41.15 and $39.18.

In general the ETF tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this ETF. During the last day, the ETF moved $0.708 between high and low, or 1.60%. For the last week the ETF has had daily average volatility of 1.10%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $42.99 (-4.13%) (This ETF has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 19 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (PSCH) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 4th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 4th we expect PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio to open at $44.61, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $44.56 and $45.14, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.576 (+/-1.29%) up or down from last closing price. If PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.29% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $44.92 (0.16%) than the support at $41.15 (8.25%), 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.
