Powershares S&p Smallcap Materials Portfolio ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 08, 2026 Loss -0.02%

The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials ETF price fell by -0.144% on the last day (Monday, 13th Jul 2026) from $97.48 to $97.33. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.54% from a day low at $96.76 to a day high of $98.25. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -7.63% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 14 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 14 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.37 million.

The ETF lies in the lower of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $96.66 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -3.02% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $93.75 and $103.59 at the end of this 3-month period.

PSCM Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. 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 $98.70 and $103.54. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, June 12, 2026, and so far it has fallen -9.74%. 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). PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs".

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

There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the ETF may perform very badly in the next couple of days.

This ETF has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the ETF moved $1.49 between high and low, or 1.54%. For the last week, the ETF has had daily average volatility of 0.622%.

PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials is oversold on RSI14 (21). Some ETFS may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (PSCM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 14th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 14th we expect PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio to open at $97.45, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $96.51 and $98.15, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.64 (+/-1.70%) up or down from last closing price. If PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.70% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ $101.19, some $3.85 (3.96%) from the current price of $97.33, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.

Is PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio ETF A Buy?

PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials 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.
