Powershares S&p Smallcap Utilities Portfolio ETF Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 31, 2026

The PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities ETF price fell by -0.575% on the last day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026) from $64.53 to $64.16. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.704% from a day low at $63.95 to a day high of $64.40. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.94% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 1 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, 1 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $66.21 thousand.

The ETF is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $62.91 and $66.40 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

PSCU Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, July 24, 2026, and so far it has risen 0.537%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. 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 $64.34 and $64.57. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities 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". 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 Monday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio to open at $64.17, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $63.81 and $64.51, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.699 (+/-1.10%) 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 1.10% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $64.48 (0.50%) than the support at $63.77 (0.61%), 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.

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

PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities holds several negative signals and is within a 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. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Hold to a Sell candidate.
