PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care ETF Forecast
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care ETF price up 0.495% on Monday
(Updated on May 06, 2024)
The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care ETF price gained 0.495% on the last trading day (Monday, 6th May 2024), rising from $42.42 to $42.63. It has now gained 4 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 0.705% from a day low at $42.51 to a day high of $42.81. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.47% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 thousand shares and in total, 5 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $227.60 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 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 $42.64 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 -3.43% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $38.39 and $41.17 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock 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.

PSCH Signals & Forecast
The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the ETF has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $41.68 and $41.95. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 6.44%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. 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.
