Powershares S&p Smallcap Utilities Portfolio ETF Forecast

Hold candidate since Jun 18, 2026 Loss -0.80%

The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities ETF price fell by -0.798% on the last day (Monday, 22nd Jun 2026) from $63.76 to $63.25. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.778% from a day low at $63.25 to a day high of $63.75. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.83% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -3 thousand shares and in total, 126 shares were bought and sold for approximately $7.97 thousand.

The ETF lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $62.11 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 5.38% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $65.45 and $72.37 at the end of this 3-month period.

PSCU Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities 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 $64.06 and $64.61. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, May 01, 2026, and so far it has fallen -5.24%. 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 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, January 09, 2026 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 (PSCU) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio to open at $63.42, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $62.88 and $63.63, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.750 (+/-1.19%) up or down from last closing price. If PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.19% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $63.66 (0.64%) than the support at $61.87 (2.18%), 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.
